Buy transparent acrylic cut to size online

Extruded acrylic glass (XT) ✓ UV & weather resistant ✓ Scratch resistant ✓

Our transparent acrylic sheets are available in a thickness of 2mm - 10mm and are provided on both sides with a protective film to protect against scratches. Acrylic glass is a transparent plastic with a translucency that is even higher than conventional glass. The acrylic glass sheets we offer are made of massive sheet material and aren't made of cellular sheets or double-wall sheets.

Acrylic glass is a weatherproof, UV-stable plastic, so that it can be easily exposed to the weather or direct sunlight, without the material yellowing, clouding or embrittling. Therefore, the scratch-resistant plastic with its high surface hardness is suitable wherever normal glass is too heavy or too inflexible in moldability. Acrylic glass can be transformed into almost any shape under the influence of heat, and even curved surfaces made of transparent plastic are no problem.

NOTE: Transparent acrylic glass is very well suited for the construction of conservatories, terrace roofs or greenhouses, but compared to our weather-resistant polycarbonate panels (also known as bullet-proof glass), they are not break-resistant, so we recommend the use of transparent polycarbonate wherever impact resistance or burglary protection is required.

Processing of acrylic glass XT

Acrylic glass can be easily sawn, milled or drilled. It should be noted, that the acrylic sheets can break if handled incorrectly during processing, so we recommend placing the sheets on a flat surface while sawing or piercing them.

Acrylic glass can be brought into almost any shape by the action of heat. The so-called thermoforming, as well as the possibility of deep drawing, offer possibilities in this transparent plastic, which are not available to you with conventional, rigid and easily breakable glass

In addition, acrylic glass can be varnished, lacquered or glued with foil, as it is very often used in advertising technology in particular for backlit advertising displays. Even engraving or cutting with a CO2-Laser, is easily possible with acrylic sheets.

Acrylic glass can be glued very well. For example, with our glass-clear curing cold welding adhesive especially for acrylic glass S-Polybond PMMAprofi. In our Online-Shop, we also offer the transparent Parasilico PL transparent especially for gluing or sealing of transparent acrylic glass.

NOTE: Even though acrylic glass is comparatively scratch-resistant, we recommend that you remove the double-sided protective film only after completion of the processing.
