    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 Ultra-Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Ultra-Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets.
    At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate sheets are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
    If you don't see the size you're looking for, check out our Made-to-Order Polycarbonate Sheets.
    Bronze and Gray—Sheets are useful in light-sensitive applications where a see-through material is required.
    UL 972—Sheets rated UL 972 are burglar resistant.
