Kitronik Value Acrylic Sheet (Cast) 600mm x 400mm - 3mm Range

3mm Clear (Cast) Acrylic Sheets measures 600mm x 400mm. The surface of the sheet has a high gloss finish. Clear Acrylic sheets will allow light to pass through clearly, enabling objects to be distinguished through the material with virtually no colour bias.

Features:

• Excellent value for money.
• High gloss surface.
• Very high light transmission.
• Easily laser cut, drilled and thermoformed.
• These sheets can be used as an alternative to glass as they have very good mechanical properties.

Applications:

Clear Acrylic sheets have many applications such as point of sale, signage, models and display cases, glazing, etc.

Working with Acrylic sheets:

Acrylic is a versatile material that can be cut, drilled, laser cut and thermoformed.

Acrylic is a thermoplastic which means that when it is heated above 140-180°C it becomes flexible. This allows the material to be formed into the required shape or bent. Once the material cools below 85°C it becomes rigid again.

Acrylic sheets are often shaped using a CNC router or laser cutter. The edge of laser cut Acrylic has a pleasing polished look. If you look carefully at the edge of a piece of laser-cut Acrylic you can often see slight vertical lines that are caused by the pulses a laser uses when cutting.

If you want to get a perfectly smooth finish on the edge of a piece of machined Acrylic a polishing technique can be used. Typical polishing techniques include diamond polishing and flame polishing.

It also possible to etch the surface of an Acrylic sheet using a laser cutter. This can produce some very pleasing visual effects.

Tolerances:

• The manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of cast acrylic sheets are the stated thickness +/-10% plus +/- 0.4mm. This means a 3mm Acrylic sheet could be between 2.3mm and 3.7mm in thickness.
• Please note that it is possible for there to be slight colour variations between batches.

• The manufacturing process for these sheets can lead to variances in length and width measurements between batches. Tolerances of up to +/- 1.7% are possible. The maximum we have recorded is plus 10mm to a length measurement.
