About Acrylic/plexiglass Sheet

Acrylic sheets are very popular plastic sheets with optical transparency, including extruded acrylic sheet and cast acrylic sheet. Compared with polycarbonate sheet, acrylic sheet offers higher surface hardness and light transmittance, but lower impact resistance.

Extruded acrylic sheet is made by an extrusion process, the raw material is acrylic plastic particle, it offers tight tolerance in thickness, but it offers a limited color and thickness range. Therefore, extruded acrylic sheet is used in the electronic industry, for example, front panels for display, labels, LGP (light guide plate), etc.

Cast acrylic sheet is made by casting process, and the raw material is liquid PMMA. It offers loose tolerance in thickness, but it offers a large range in colors and thicknesses. Therefore, cast acrylic sheets are suitable for POP displays, aquariums, and some machined parts/components.

As a leading supplier of acrylic sheets in China, UVTECO stocks extruded acrylic sheets and cast acrylic sheets with large range in colors and thickness range for fast delivery to global clients. Meantime, we also provide machining services, including cutting, printing, bending, drilling, routing, milling by three/four/five-axial CNC machine, etc. Today, we provide high-quality acrylic products to more than 4000 clients from global market.
