Plexiglas Machining, Fabricating & Distribution

Plexiglas® acrylic sheet has been considered the standard of the industry since it was first introduced 75 years ago because of its unsurpassed quality, ease of use, and wide range of colors, patterns, thicknesses, and sizes. Plexiglas® sheet is a versatile material that has many residential, commercial, industrial, and professional uses. Major Plexiglas® sheet applications fall into such categories as architectural glazing, retail display, signs, lighting, noise reduction, industrial guards, restaurant fixtures, and document preservation.

Types of Plexiglas® Sheets

• Plexiglas® MC (Extruded Acrylic Sheets): Affordable and versatile, Plexiglas® MC is commonly used for signage, displays, and protective barriers. It is easy to shape and mold, available in various colors and patterns.
• Plexiglas® G (Cell-Cast Acrylic Sheets): Designed for high-end applications, Plexiglas® G offers excellent clarity and uniform thickness. It is ideal for projects that require transparency and impact resistance, such as display cases and lenses.
• Plexiglas® SG Plus (Weather-Resistant Sheets): Plexiglas® SG Plus is UV-stable, making it perfect for outdoor applications like architectural glazing and signage. It is built to withstand harsh weather conditions.
• Plexiglas® SB (Bullet-Resistant Sheets): Plexiglas® SB offers high durability and bullet resistance, meeting UL 752 Level I and II standards. It is used in security applications like protective barriers in banks and government buildings.
• Plexiglas® Arena: Plexiglas® Arena is designed for sports arenas and recreational spaces. It combines impact resistance and optical clarity, making it ideal for transparent barriers and partitions.

Benefits of Plexiglas® Sheets

Plexiglas® offers a variety of benefits that make it an ideal material for many applications:

• Durability and Impact Resistance: Plexiglas® sheets are known for their strength and resilience. They are much more impact-resistant than glass, making them safer and more durable in a variety of settings.
• UV Resistance: Certain types of Plexiglas® sheets, such as Plexiglas® P-95, are specifically designed to resist UV light, protecting against discoloration and degradation over time. This makes them perfect for outdoor applications or areas with heavy sunlight exposure.
• Optical Clarity: Plexiglas® is known for its excellent transparency, allowing light to pass through without distortion. This makes it ideal for applications where clear visibility is important, such as windows, displays, and protective covers.
• Lightweight and Easy to Work With: Unlike glass, Plexiglas® is much lighter, making it easier to transport, install, and handle. This helps reduce labor and shipping costs while also improving the safety and efficiency of installation.

Applications of Plexiglas® Sheets

Plexiglas® is used in a wide range of industries due to its versatility and performance. Some common applications include:

• Architectural and Building Uses: Plexiglas® sheets are commonly used in windows, skylights, and facades. Their lightweight nature and durability make them an ideal choice for both residential and commercial buildings.
• Automotive and Aerospace: Plexiglas® is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries for windows, light covers, and other transparent components. Its impact resistance and clarity make it an essential material for these high-performance applications.
• Signage and Displays: The excellent optical clarity and easy customization options make Plexiglas® an ideal material for signage and display cases. It allows businesses to create high-visibility signs that are both attractive and durable.
• Security and Safety: Bullet-resistant Plexiglas® sheets, such as Plexiglas® SB, are used in security applications where protection from impact is crucial. These sheets provide reliable defense in high-risk environments.
