Acrylic has been given the nickname “The Queen of Plastic” due to its inherent beauty and clarity. Acrylic displays optical properties that are closest to glass, with excellent transparency and brilliance, at a fraction of the weight of glass. With its excellent Refractive Index, Light Transmission and Haze properties, Acrylic is widely used in applications that require high clarity and brilliance, such as Automotive Applications, Displays, Light Guide Panels and Optical Lens. Specialized Acrylic grades can be provided, including High Flow, Heat Resistant, Extrusion, True Optical and Impact Resistant grades.
