Extruded Acrylic Sheet

The advantages of extruded acrylic are better tolerance on thickness easier to bend shape and can be flame polished.

Extruded acrylic sheet.

Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch resistant. Acme plastics acrylic extruded clear sheets are available in a wide selection of thicknesses and sheet sizes. Extruded acrylic is also the easiest grade to thermoform and the easiest to bond using solvent cements. More flexible than glass or metals acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates polycarbonates or vinyl.

Common uses for extruded acrylic are sign holders skylights and glazing applications. Extruded acrylic costs less than cast and is more dimensionally stable meaning the thickness is more consistent across sheets.

Extruded acrylic sheet extruded acrylic sheet can be manufactured to any length which often results in cost savings since yield loss can be minimized when parts are cut from custom sheet sizes.

Its higher impact strength makes it a great glass replacement for applications such as garage door windows storm windows and other glazing needs. Extruded acrylic sheet is easy to cut glue polish bend and thermoform. The pellets are fed into the extrusion barrel and are driven through the barrel by a single or twin screw auger system. Softer with a lower melting temperature than in its cast form extruded acrylic is easier to laser cut rout and polishes more cost effectively.
