Cast Acrylic Sheet Thickness Tolerance

Exact thickness tolerances will vary by manufacturer.

Cast acrylic sheet thickness tolerance.

Cast acrylic which is comparable to lucite and plexiglas acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. Extruded plexiglass acrylic sheets have a higher tolerance when heated or bent and are typically more malleable than cast plexiglass acrylic sheets. As an example cast acrylic sheet is poured between 2 sheets of glass. This material is scratch and uv resistant.

Beyond 25 mm acrylite is cast to a corporate thickness specifications. Thickness tolerances for acrylic sheet here are the tolerances on the thickness of the acrylic sheets that we offer. Available in thicknesses of 060 to 4 250. These cast acrylic sheets bars and cubes are often fabricated into tanks see through barrier panels and light fixture lenses.

Please refer to nominal and actual sheet thicknesses below. Sizes 1 16 3 8 are the extruded sheets and the 1 2 3 4 and 1 are the cast sheets. It stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time. These sheets vary more than any other plastic and can be 20 or more.

This is compensated by the surface finish as smooth as glass since it was cast or molded between two sheet of glass. Please call us at 858 560 1551 with any questions. This would mean a 1 00 thick sheet could be from 80 1 20 thick within the same sheet and still be within the factory tolerance materials within a factory tolerance can not be returned. This allowance is based on astm d 4802 section 5 6 1.

Furthermore the ability to colour the clear mma monomer by using master batch pigments allows for. These are general guidelines for thickness tolerances on plexiglass acrylic sheets. What are the tolerances for plexiglas g acrylic sheet thickness length and width flatness. It generally is the best thickness consistency softest sheet easy to glue best for chemical bonding and the standard material for displays replacement windows and some signage applications.

As manufactured the flatness tolerance of plexiglas g sheet depends on the long dimension. Textured sheet sheet is available with a matte gl 15 finish in clear and colors. Preshrunk sheet sheet that is thermally preshrunk but does not meet mil p 5425. Iso 7823 1 provides thickness tolerances up to 25 mm.

Whilst cast acrylic sheets tend to have a greater variance on thickness tolerance as much as 30 on thickness.
