Acrylic or PMMA is available in various grades, each with different properties and suitable for other applications. Here are the most common acrylic plastic grades.
Extruded Acrylic
Extrudes acrylic is the commonly found grade or variation of acrylic manufactured in length resulting in cost savings as yield loss can be slashed when parts are cut from custom sheet sizes. This type of acrylic sheet blends seamlessly with cement solvents.
Cast Acrylic
Cast acrylic sheet has more excellent chemical resistance and remarkable machine processing capabilities than extruded acrylic.
Extruded and cast are the most commonly known acrylic variations. Let’s see a brief comparison between them:
Extruded | Cast |
| Thermoformable | Better range n terms of thickness upto 4″, especially those made for bullet resistance |
| Phemonelol optical properties | Better long-term resistance to UV exposure and weather |
Decent electrical and UV resistance | Lightweight and rigid |
| Impact resistance is better than glass(Not Kidding) | Lower water absorbtion |
