    Clear Machinable Cast Acrylic Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Machinable Cast Acrylic Sheets.
    These cast acrylic sheets are often fabricated into tanks, see-through barrier panels, and light fixture lenses. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. The material is scratch resistant and stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate. It maintains clarity over time and won't weaken from exposure to UV, though the pigment in colored acrylic will fade over time when exposed to direct sunlight.

    Clear Impact-Resistant Acrylic Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Impact-Resistant Acrylic Sheets.
    Modified for increased impact strength over other types of acrylic, these extruded acrylic sheets are often used for skylights and outdoor signs. This material is a better choice for outdoor use than polycarbonate because it is scratch and UV resistant, and it maintains clarity over time.

    Ultra-Machinable Acetal Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Machinable Acetal Sheets.
    An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, these acetal copolymer sheets offer the same naturally slippery surface and similar wear resistance. They resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be machined to close tolerances. Use them for parts that require precision, such as gears, bearings, and bushings.
