Extruded Acrylic Sheet

Acme plastics acrylic extruded clear sheets are available in a wide selection of thicknesses and sheet sizes.

Extruded acrylic sheet. The materials allow for a broad range of design considerations that allow you the flexibility needed in your applications. The advantages of extruded acrylic are better tolerance on thickness easier to bend shape and can be flame polished. Common uses for extruded acrylic are sign holders skylights and glazing applications. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively.

Its higher impact strength makes it a great glass replacement for applications such as garage door windows storm windows and other glazing needs. Extruded cast acrylic sheet. Extruded acrylic sheet is easy to cut glue polish bend and thermoform. Cut to size option is available.

Plexiglas extruded sheet is a premium melt calendered sheet that can be used in a variety of applications such a pop displays signage framing rear projection screen and skylight applications among others. Extruded acrylic a versatile and all purpose acrylic sheet with multi functional properties extruded acrylic sheet is a workhorse for a large variety of applications including point of purchase displays lighting signage and framing just to name a few. Extruded acrylic acrylic is an optically transparent thermoplastic material unaffected by moisture and offers a high strength to weight ratio. Extruded acrylic is also the easiest grade to thermoform and the easiest to bond using solvent cements.

Extruded acrylic sheets are manufactured by a continuous production process. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant. Acrylic or pmma pellets are fed from a containment silo to a feed hopper above an extruder line. Explore our product catalog and resources or learn more about our products and services.

Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets. We are the leading manufacturer of thermoplastic solutions from acrylic abs and copolyester sheet to the application of performance enhancing hard coatings. An economical general purpose material acrylic can be easily heat formed without loss of optical clarity. The pellets are fed into the extrusion barrel and are driven through the barrel by a single or twin screw auger system.

More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl.
