Therefore, polycarbonate panels are often used for applications where high impact resistance is needed, such as riot shields and bulletproof glass, and plexiglass sheets are used for decoration, display, noise barrier. Polycarbonate panel is near 20 times stronger than acrylic plexiglass sheet, but the acrylic plexiglass sheet offers a harder surface and better price than polycarbonate panel. They are also 100% clear and offer excellent impact resistance.

UVACRYLIC™ is a leading manufacturer of acrylic in China, the annual production capability is over 12 thousand tons, meantime, we provide the integrated machining service. Otherwise, it offers new functions by coating layers, for example, higher surface hardness, better abrasive resistance, mirror surface, anti-static and non-glare function. Today, the acrylic sheet has become to be the most commonly used plastic material in our daily life, such as security barriers, medical devices, furniture, POP display, office supplies, fish tank, etc.Īcrylic sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses, colors and provide superior weather ability. At the very beginning, it is used as airplane windows, turrets, and canopies during the Second World War. This material is similar to polycarbonate sheets, but better price and surface hardness, and lower impact strength.Īcrylic sheet was first produced in 1928 and was brought to market by Rohm and Haas Company in 1933. It is a versatile plastic sheet with a variety of purposes and benefits, which is produced according to extrusion process and casting process, therefore, some people call it as “extruded acrylic sheet” and “cast acrylic sheet”.
UVACRYLIC™ Acrylic/Plexiglass Sheets Brief Introduction Of UVACRYLIC™ Acrylic SheetsĪcrylic sheet is one of the thermoplastic sheets, which is made of polymethyl methacrylate ( PMMA), it is well known by the trade name “ plexiglass sheet“.
