Acrycast
Acrycast acrylic sheet offers superb optical clarity and optimum
performance that cannot be matched at any price. Cast from premium
materials, these cell cast acrylic sheets allow precision
manufacturing applications to meet a wide range of specifications.
Whether it's cutting, drilling, routing, cementing, polishing or
thermoforming, Acrycast is a tough product to rival. Our advanced
technology also assures superior resistance to weathering and
crazing.
LIGHT IN WEIGHT
Acycast (specific gravity 1.19) is less than half the weight when
compared to inorganic glass.
WATER-CLEAR
Colorless Acycast is crystal clear, and transmits 92% of visible
light.
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Acrycast is resistant to inorganic chemicals and normal chained
hydrocarbons. However, contact with organic solvents may cause
swelling, crazing, or cracking.
IMPACT RESISTANT
Acrycast is approximately 8 to 10 times more resistant to impact
than ordinary plate glass.
EASY FABRICATION
Acrycast can be saw cut, drilled, routed, machined, solvent
cemented, polished and strip bent using conventional acrylic sheet
fabrication techniques.
THERMO FORMABLE
An excellent thermoplastic, Acrycast may be thermoformed at
temperatures ranging from 2so?F to 320?F. Because Acrycast is a
cell cast sheet, it is not subject to the excessive shrinkage that
is encountered in extruded or continuously manufactured
sheets.
SURFACE HARDNESS
In general, Acrycast has a surface hardness almost identical to
aluminum. Acrycast is harder than most other plastic sheeting, yet
slightly softer than glass. Therefore, Acrycast may be scratched by
abrasion.
