Akrylic PMMA

Acrylic is the perfect choice when you need good UV resistance and optically clear quality. Its impact resistance is also significantly better compared to glass. Acrylic sheets are produced in two ways, either by extrusion or casting. Extruded (XT) are more affordable, but their thermoforming and machining properties are worse than cast (GS) sheets. Acrylic is easily scratched, but Hard Coated Optical HC is available along with Impact-resistant Acrylic Quality (Resist), which is almost as durable as polycarbonate. Acrylic is a food-grade material that is also suitable for use in the pharmaceutical industry.
