Key features and benefits of cast acrylic

Cast acrylic is the preferred plastic choice for those seeking superior clarity and strength in their applications. Our clear acrylic is transparent, impact resistant, moisture resistant, and half the weight of glass, but 17 times stronger. In addition, cast acrylic has greater optical clarity than glass, but it is also 10 times more resistant to breakage.

Cast acrylic is very versatile and can easily be molded, machined or laser cut to your exact specifications. It is available in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and finishes and is easy to thermoform to meet your needs. Finally, cast acrylic has a higher molecular weight than its extruded acrylic counterpart, resulting in better resistance to cracking when exposed to solvents and harder surfaces.
