GPPS /PMMA/Acrylic Sheet, Patterned Sheet, PE Protective Film

 Clear color extruded acrylic sheet

There are two basic types of Acrylic Sheets and the manufacturing process result in products with differences in properties and performance.

Cell Cast Acrylic Sheets have exceptionally high quality with excellent technical properties and high strength. Easy to handle, machine and fabricate.

Extruded Acrylic Sheets have improved vacuum formability and is ideal for applications where complex shapes are required.

Key Features and Benefits of Cast Acrylic Sheets: 

• Resistance to mechanical damage
• High resistance to stains
• Easy to clean
• Water resistance
• Colour fastness
• No visible joints by the splices
• Very high reproducibility of colours and decors
• Possibility to repair some punctual damage
• Easy to process
• Wide range of colours
• Unlimited possibilities to shape the thermoformed sheets

Applications for Cast Acrylic Sheets:

• • Kitchen countertops
  • Bathroom countertops
  • Interior wall linings
  • Window sills
  • Shelves and bookcases
  • Countertops and tables
  • Basins, sinks
  • Reception desks
  • Designer furniture, molds, sculptures
  • Acrylic sheets shall not be used outdoors

Cell Cast vs Extruded:

The main differences lie in their thermal and chemical properties and the way they are processed and used. The two materials are different in nature and respond differently to certain processes.

The Cast manufacturing process leads to slight variations in the thickness of sheets whereas the thickness of Extruded sheet varies very little, if at all. Cast has an isotropic response to temperature with a maximum shrinkage of 2% in all directions. However, the extrusion process applied to Extruded sheet leads to differences in shrinkage depending on the thickness and direction of extrusion.

Extruded acrylic sheet has reduced mechanical properties, however it does give process advantages when heating, bending and vacuum forming, and has a better thickness tolerance than cast acrylic sheet. Extruded sheets are ideal for general glazing applications and the much lower viscosity when hot, makes it more ductile than Cast Acrylic.

Cast Acrylic sheets offer greater thermal stability and better resistance to crazing when exposed to solvents. The thermoforming range for cast sheets is wider. They can be reworked hot, which is not always possible with extruded sheets. The surface finish, flatness and optical properties of Cast Acrylic are all superior to those of Extruded Acrylic sheets.
