Common uses for extruded acrylic are sign holders skylights and glazing applications.

Extruded acrylic sheet.

Both extruded and cast acrylic sheets comply with fda requirements for food contact which also makes it an ideal choice for restaurants retail stores grocery stores cafeterias and much more. Optix acrylic sheet is a lightweight impact resistant optix acrylic sheet is a lightweight impact resistant transparent material that is a great replacement for glass in many applications. Extruded cast acrylic sheet. Extruded acrylic is also the easiest grade to thermoform and the easiest to bond using solvent cements.

Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant. Cut to size option is available. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively. An economical general purpose material acrylic can be easily heat formed without loss of optical clarity.

Extruded acrylic sheets are manufactured by a continuous production process. The pellets are fed into the extrusion barrel and are driven through the barrel by a single or twin screw auger system. The advantages of extruded acrylic are better tolerance on thickness easier to bend shape and can be flame polished. Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets.

Its higher impact strength makes it a great glass replacement for applications such as garage door windows storm windows and other glazing needs. Acrylic or pmma pellets are fed from a containment silo to a feed hopper above an extruder line. More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl. Extruded acrylic sheet is easy to cut glue polish bend and thermoform.

The materials allow for a broad range of design considerations that allow you the flexibility needed in your applications.
