Acrylic is a rigid, transparent, thermoplastic material. Naturally colourless and exceptionally clear, it can be pigmented to obtain a wide range of tints and colours with almost unlimited scope in varying light transmission and diffusion.
Polycarbonate is the toughest transparent plastic available. The impact resistance of Polycarbonate is 15 - 20 times higher than that of Acrylic sheet, making it ideal for machine guarding and safety items like helmets and eye protection.
Polypropylene provides excellent resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack. It is light in weight, resistant to staining, and has a low moisture absorption rate.
Foam PVC sheet is ideal for use in exhibitions and displays, particularly when portability is an important factor. It is lightweight and ideal for printing and signage.
PETG is a cost effective transparent sheet combining a number of important characteristics, particularly high impact strength, optical properties and excellent fabricating performance
