White 2447 Translucent Acrylic Sheet
White Translucent Acrylic Sheet 2447
Our White Translucent Acrylic Sheet 2447, commonly known as Milk Plexi, is designed for controlled light transmission and even diffusion. This material allows approximately 51% light transmission, making it suitable for LED backlighting, illuminated signs, light boxes, pedestals, photography, and display applications where soft, uniform lighting is required.
The sheet diffuses harsh points of light and conceals objects behind it, offering a clean and consistent illuminated surface for commercial, architectural, and creative projects.

Acrylic FAQs
Please read our frequently asked questions to find out more.
What is the difference between cast and extruded acrylic?
Most acrylic sheet is manufactured by either extrusion or cell casting. The benefits to cell casting are small minimums and a higher molecular weight. This results in a slightly better chemical resistance, heat resistance and clarity. The disadvantages to cell cast is that thickness tolerance within a sheet can vary. Extruded sheets offer the user less fluctuation in thickness across sheet.
