Polymethyl Methacrylate (Acrylic)

Poly methyl methacrylate or acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic. SABIN® acrylic sheets are able to withstand harsh weather conditions, including UV radiation. These sheets maintain their optical properties for several years and are suitable for industries such as construction and signange. acrylic’s mechanical and optical properties make it an excellent replacement for glass.

Features

High transparency Harsh weather resistant Good light transmission High impact strength Light weight

Applications

Advertising and signage applications POP display and shop fixtures Architecture Furniture and accessories

Special products

Anti-glare Anti-glare sheets are shatter resistant, lightweight and ideal for glazing. They are suitable for signage, silk-screening and POP displays. Anti-scratch Scratch resistant sheets provide good protection against scratches. They are suitable for retail displays, table tops and door panels. High Impact PMMA. Acrylic sheets modified for high impact strength are much harder than normal acrylic sheets or glass sheets of the same thickness. These sheets are suitable for signage, displays, skylights and other transportation purposes.

High Impact Acrylic (HIPMMA)

SABIN® High Impact Extruded acrylic sheets are made of impact modified resin and the sheets are up to 10 times stronger than general-purpose acrylic, 30 times stronger than double-strength window glass and 50 times stronger than polished wire glass or other glasses. That strength equates to superior tolerance to shipping and handling. Sizes available are : 1220x1830, 1220x2440, 2050x3050 mm. Thickness : 1.7mm to 20.0 mm
