Cast acrylic has a less consistent sheet thickness with up to 10 variation possible across the panel.

Extruded acrylic sheet thickness.

More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl. Plastic sheets have a thickness tolerance of 10 and can have thickness variations throughout the sheet. Whereas perspex cast is produced in small batches extruded sheet is made by extruding acrylic polymer over longer more economical production runs. 0 060 1 16 1 5 mm.

Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively. Extruded plexiglass acrylic sheets on the other hand have a higher tolerance when heated or bent and are typically more malleable than cast plexiglass acrylic sheets. Cut to size items cannot be returned for a refund or exchange. Both extruded and cast acrylic sheets comply with fda requirements for food contact which also makes it an ideal choice for.

Because of the continuous nature of production short production runs are of the order of 3 5 tonne per size and gauge and colour. These are general guidelines for thickness tolerances on plexiglass acrylic sheets. Acrylite premium acrylic sheet is the highest quality extruded plastic sheet on the market. Can be thermoformed odourless printed.

Sheet sizes colors. It is thermo formable and can be reworked hot which is not always. Extruded acrylic is also clearer than glass and. Our extruded acrylic sheets are transparent moisture resistant and about half the weight of glass.

Sizes 1 16 3 8 are the extruded sheets and the 1 2 3 4 and 1 are the cast sheets. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant. Please call us at 858 560 1551 with any questions. Extruded acrylic sheet offers excellent thickness tolerance and is extremely easy to vacuum form making it ideal for applications where complex shapes are required.

Here are the tolerances on the thickness of the acrylic sheets that we offer. Tilara acrylic sheet is a thermoplastic sheet that is an alternative of polycarbonate when extreme strength. Exact thickness tolerances will vary by manufacturer.
