DURAPLEX 50% medium impact modified acrylic sheet is 10-15 times stronger than double strength glass and 20-30 times stronger than polished wire glass. DURAPLEX 100% high impact modified acrylic sheet is 20-30 times stronger than double strength glass, and 40-50 times stronger than polished wire glass or other glasses.

Polystyrene

Polystyrene is a thermoplastic substance, normally existing in solid state at room temperature, but will melt if heated (for molding or extrusion), and becomes solid again when cooled.

Polycarbonate

DURAPLEX acrylic sheet is an economical alternative to polycarbonate. It offers significantly more weatherability, better thermoforming, and is non-yellowing.
