Extruded Acrylic Sheets
Selangor, Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, Sungai Buloh
Extruded Acrylic is a plastic manufactured using one or more derivatives of acrylic acid. Polymethyl Methacrylate acrylic, or PMMA, is one of the more widely used forms of acrylic due to its exceptional weatherability, strength, clarity and versatility. Extruded acrylic sheet offers excellent thickness tolerance and is extremely easy to vacuum form, making it ideal for applications where complex shapes are required. Extruded acrylic sheet is continuously manufactured using a process of extrusion.

Detailed description
Excellent thickness tolerance
Extruded acrylic has an excellent thickness tolerance meaning there is little variation in thicknesses within the same sheet of material, this is also true of the thickness tolerance between multiple sheets of material. The thickness tolerance of extruded acrylic sheet is +/- 5% while the thickness tolerance of cast acrylic sheet cab be as high as +/- 15%.
Optical clarity
While not quite as high as the optical optical optical of clear cast acrylic sheet, clear extruded sheet still performs very well in this area. The economic cost of extruded acrylic is often required for high volume projects, so unless the highest possible levels of optical clarity are required, then extruded acrylic is an attractive option.
High gloss surface
Clear extruded sheet has a high gloss finish on both sides.
Weather resistant
With excellent resistance to the elements, clear extruded acrylic sheet performs very well outside. No significant changes in appearance are expected over 10 years.
