Extrusion acrylic sheet. Custom sheet extrusions fabricated extrusion company manufactures a wide variety of custom extruded sheet products made from highly engineered resins and commodity compounds. Our extruded acrylic sheets are transparent moisture resistant and about half the weight of glass. Request a quote on your sheet extrusion. Extruded acrylic is also clearer than glass and will not yellow after prolonged sun exposure because it resists ultraviolet light degradation.
The materials allow for a broad range of design considerations that allow you the flexibility needed in your applications. 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. Cut to size cast acrylic sheet extrusion is a continuous manufacturing production method where acrylic monomers are first heated then fed through barrels where the chemical process occurs. And we can cut it to length die cut the material or provide it in rolls.
There are two types of dies used. Acrylite premium acrylic sheet is the highest quality extruded plastic sheet on the market. T shaped and coat hanger. As a result extruded acrylic is heterogeneous with properties that may vary depending upon the direction of extrusion.
