Acrylic, known by various names such as Plexiglass, Lucite, Perspex, Acrylite, and Optix, stands as a versatile plastic material renowned for its diverse applications and numerous benefits. Introduced in 1928 and brought to the market by Rohm and Haas Company around 1933, acrylic found initial use during World War II in products like airplane windows, canopies, and turrets.

With exceptional durability, acrylic surpasses glass, being 10 times stronger. Its resistance to high pressure, impact, weather, and temperature variations positions acrylic as a superior alternative to glass.

Opaque acrylic sheets, impervious to light transmission through the color layer, provide unparalleled coverage and hiding power. While generally blocking all light transmission, the thickness-dependent glow when backlit adds a subtle aesthetic. Opaque acrylic sheets guarantee that objects remain unseen through them.

Maintenance:

Cleaning and polishing acrylic is straightforward using a clean cloth and dedicated cleaning compounds. Special abrasive compounds can remove light scratches, with products like the Novus polishing kit available at Plastic-Craft ensuring acrylic remains pristine for years.

Light Transmission:

Clear acrylic boasts an impressive 92 percent light transmittance rate, among the highest possible. While allowing light of wavelengths greater than 375 nm, acrylic prevents the passage of UV-C wavelengths (100–290 nm), even in thin sheets of less than 5 millimeters. This feature makes acrylic a durable and protective material for various applications.
