PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
PLASKOLITE acrylic is a continuously processed
sheet made through a fully integrated manufacturing
process that converts acrylic monomer into acrylic
polymer, then into acrylic sheet. It is crystal clear,
glossy, durable, weather resistant, and lightweight.
Advantages of PLASKOLITE acrylic sheet include;
high molecular weight for ease of fabrication, low
heat loss for economy, and an attractive clear edge
color.
PLASKOLITE produces OPTIX standard grade
acrylic and DURAPLEX, which has an impact modi-
fier blended with the acrylic resin. Acrylic sheet is
available with a smooth, nonglare or patterned sur-
face, in clear, translucent, and transparent colors.
Supplied thicknesses range from .040” to 1.0”, and
widths up to 105”.
The Run-to-Size program allows sheet to be sup-
plied at specific size requirements. This flexibility
saves you time, eliminates scrap, improves produc-
tivity and reduces wear and tear on your equipment.
PLASKOLITE acrylic sheet is an excellent choice for a
variety of industries, including: signage, store fixture,
P.O.P. display, skylight, building/window, hobby/
craft, lighting, and the automotive aftermarket.
