Acrylite® Optical (MR) sheet resists marring and scratching from everyday public contact, daily cleanings, and airborne dirt and dust that are found in many applications. This property significantly extends the service life of the product. Although the coating provides an extremely hard surface to resist these abuses, it is not resistant to intentional gouging with sharp tipped objects, such as knives or screwdrivers. Because this sheet offers protection from chemical attack, many household glass cleaners can be used on the coated surfaces.

N/A Acrylic materials have an unusual combination of properties, outstanding weather resistance, brilliant clarity, “light-piping” and “edge-lighting” qualities, chemical resistance, smooth, easy clean surface, and ease of forming and machining. Compared to all other types of transparent thermoplastics, acrylic sheet has outstanding resistance to the damaging effects of sunlight and outdoor weathering. These desirable properties of acrylic sheet account for its wide acceptance for varied end uses such as :

  • Boat Windshields.
  • Commercial Aircraft Windows.
  • Display Cases.
  • Skylights.
  • Architectural Glazing.
  • Bullet-Resistant Glazing.
  • Sneeze Guards.
  • Machine Windows.
  • Outdoor / Lighted Signs.
  • P.O.P. Displays.
  • Pediatric Incubators.
  • Transparent Tanks.
  • Lighting Diffusers & Lenses.
  • Transparent Machine Parts.
Acrylics are easily sawed, drilled, milled, engraved, and finished with sharp carbide tipped tools. Cut surfaces may be readily sanded and polished. They are also readily thermoformed at low temperatures. Solvent cementing of of properly fitted parts produces a strong, invisible joint.
