    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.

    Easy-Thermoform Ultra-Impact-Resistant Acrylic/PVC Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Easy-Thermoform Ultra-Impact-Resistant Acrylic/PVC Sheets.
    Widely used for vehicle interiors and equipment housings, these sheets maintain their physical properties after thermoforming. They resist many corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions. One side is smooth; the other side has a coarse texture to mask scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints. This material is comparable to Kydex.
