Acrylic Grades

Online Plastics® offers an extensive inventory of acrylic materials including cast and extruded acrylic sheet, acrylic rod, and acrylic tube. Our selection meets a variety of needs, ranging between display and signage to industrial manufacturing operations.

Acrylic is resistant to direct sunlight, ensuring it ages well and remains stable in many environmental circumstances, including heat, cold, and moisture.

We provide acrylic in clear, matte (satin ice), non-glare, and mirror finishes, as well as a broad array of opaque and translucent colors. Coatings are available for specific applications.

For optimal optical clarity, cast acrylic delivers excellent light transmission and weather resistance. Our acrylic materials can be coated for UV protection and scratch resistance. Known for its durability, acrylic does not warp, craze, crack, or corrode.

Acrylic Features:

  • Available in cast or extruded forms
  • Wide color range
  • Dimensionally stable
  • Easy to machine, fabricate, and thermoform
  • Lightweight (less than half the weight of glass)
  • Shatter-resistant
  • Weather resistant and non-yellowing

Acrylic is renowned for its ease of fabrication and machining. It is frequently used in museums and framing as a glass substitute. Acrylic sheets weigh significantly less than glass and do not shatter. For industrial applications, acrylic offers good dielectric properties and tensile strength.

Acrylic Applications

Acrylic shapes offer vast possibilities for application. Common applications for acrylic sheet, acrylic rod, and acrylic tube include:

  • Display boxes
  • Signage
  • Architectural glazing
  • Skylights
  • Clear exterior structures
  • Light lenses
  • Back lit buttons, dials, or knobs
