Acrylic FAQ

Q: What is the difference between cast and extruded acrylic?

A: 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.

Q: What is the working temperature of acrylic?

A: Acrylic can be used at temperatures from -30 degrees up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit.  At 190 degrees Fahrenheit acrylic will start to soften or lose its physical properties.

Q: What thicknesses of acrylic do you carry?

A: We carry 1/16”, 1/8”, 3/16”, ¼”, 3/8”, ½”, ¾”, 1”, 1-1/4”, 1-1/2”, 2” and 3” thick acrylic.

Q: What size sheets of acrylic do you carry?

A: A standard size sheet is 4’ x 8’. Dependent upon the color and thickness of acrylic we also carry 5’ x 8’, 6’ x 8’ and 4’ x 10’ sheet sizes.
