Extruded Acrylic Sheet

Extruded acrylic sheet is easy to cut glue polish bend and thermoform.

Extruded acrylic sheet.

We are the leading manufacturer of thermoplastic solutions from acrylic abs and copolyester sheet to the application of performance enhancing hard coatings. Common uses for extruded acrylic are sign holders skylights and glazing applications. Extruded acrylic acrylic is an optically transparent thermoplastic material unaffected by moisture and offers a high strength to weight ratio. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively.

Plexiglas extruded sheet is a premium melt calendered sheet that can be used in a variety of applications such a pop displays signage framing rear projection screen and skylight applications among others.

Extruded acrylic is also the easiest grade to thermoform and the easiest to bond using solvent cements.

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. The materials allow for a broad range of design considerations that allow you the flexibility needed in your applications. An economical general purpose material acrylic can be easily heat formed without loss of optical clarity. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant.

More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl. The advantages of extruded acrylic are better tolerance on thickness easier to bend shape and can be flame polished. Extruded acrylic a versatile and all purpose acrylic sheet with multi functional properties extruded acrylic sheet is a workhorse for a large variety of applications including point of purchase displays lighting signage and framing just to name a few. 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. Extruded acrylic sheets are manufactured by a continuous production process. Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets. Extruded acrylic sheet extruded acrylic sheet can be manufactured to any length which often results in cost savings since yield loss can be minimized when parts are cut from custom sheet sizes.

The pellets are fed into the extrusion barrel and are driven through the barrel by a single or twin screw auger system.
