Why Is Acrylic Used So Often?

Acrylic or Plexiglass is one of the sought-after transparent thermoplastics in the market. The optical clarity and scratch resistance make it perfect for both outdoor and indoor applications.
It is a pocket-friendly, lighter alternative to glass; it is cheaper than polycarbonate and should be considered where strength is not an important factor. It can be easily cut into precise shapes using laser energy as PMMA vaporizes in the laser’s contact.
I recommend using acrylic when optical clarity is of utmost importance; if strength is also an important factor, more preference should be given to Polycarbonate.
The Acrylic material is easily processable with injection molding, thermoforming, and extrusion.
