Perspex
GS - Cast
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.
Perspex
XT - Extruded
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

benefits with half the weight, less breakage problems

without compromising on versatility or flexibility.

benefits you would expect from Perspex, excellent quality,
performance and design capabilities - plus an intense
and vibrant "live-edge" effect. Available

a new expression to the contemporary sign, display and
point of sale market

Perspex
Vario
The Vario sheet has a striking fluorescent edge which
produces eye catching results. The variations of light
and shade are almost endless and the surface colour
changes as the angle of vision shifts. The contrast
provided by the edge effect gives an even greater depth
to the material, depending on the size and thickness
of the acrylic sheet used. Designed for use in interior design
applications, Perspex Vario is the ideal material for
the most audacious projects.
Perspex IM 50/60

great improvements in impact strength and more suitability
for thermoforming than standard grades - Perspex IM
50 and IM 60 give very high impact resistance compared
to standard extruded acrylic sheet whilst retaining excellent
edge clarity, good abrasion resistance and high rigidity.
