Characteristics
Thickness and Strength
Supplied thicknesses range from .040" to 1.0" and widths up to 105".
Impact resistance
.125" OPTIX acrylic sheet is approximately 2 to 3 times more impact resistant than double strength window glass, and 4 to 5 times more impact resistant than wire glass or other glasses.
OPTIX acrylic sheet has a high molecular weight, which allows it to be easily fabricated.
Weight
Lightweight – half the weight of glass.
Weather resistance
OPTIX acrylic sheet is recommended for both indoor and outdoor use. It is able to withstand prolonged exposure to the sun and elements.
Glare control
OPTIX acrylic sheet is available with a smooth, non-glare or patterned surface.
