Cast Acrylic Sheet (Perspex
GS)
Perspex
cast acrylic sheet is made between sheets of high quality
glass and produced in batches. It has a very high molecular
weight making it strong, resilient and easy to handle
and fabricate. The cast method of manufacture is ideally
suited to small colour runs and batch sizes It offers
better optical properties and craze resistance than
extruded sheet and hence is often the choice for applications
requiring critical visual performance.
Extruded Acrylic Sheet (Perspex
XT)
Perspex
extruded acrylic sheet has a lower molecular weight
making it easy to vacuum form and the extrusion process
gives excellent thickness tolerance and is economical
for long production runs. The standard grade of extruded
acrylic sheet is ideal for general glazing applications.
Due to the automated production process, the extruded
product range is more limited.
Perspex

of the sheet used. Designed for use in interior design
applications.
