ACRYLITE® GMS acrylic sheet meets and is qualified to AECMA 4364 and MIL-PRF-5425 for use in the aviation industry in applications where exacting standards are established for aircraft applications. It has premium optical quality, dimensional stability, and extra-ordinary flatness and tolerance control.

Current applications include instrument panels, wing tip lenses, dust covers, helicopter bubbles and aircraft canopies. ACRYLITE® GMS sheet is used in aerospace trans- parent enclosures in monolithic or laminated form.

Fabrication techniques used on standard cell cast acrylic sheet will be appropriate for ACRYLITE® GMS sheet. When drape forming this sheet, excellent results can be achieved if the sheet is heated evenly between 302 °F and 320 °F. For pressure forming or vacuum forming operations temperature of 338 °F to 374 °F are recommended.
