What adhesive should I use on acrylic sheet?
In most cases, clear silicon can be used to adhere to a flat surface, do not use any glue that generated heat as this will mark and warp the sheet.
Perspex sheets are a premium quality product, often referred to as Plexiglas. The use of Perspex has expanded in a wide range of domestic and commercial applications. More specifically, it is commonly used in glazing, signage, POS and retail displays. However, you can also find it in furniture design, lighting and exhibit enclosures.
Perspex is highly durable and a better thermal insulator. As a result, it makes a practical alternative to glass. In addition, Perspex is recyclable and eco-friendly. This leads to a reduced environmental footprint. Moreover, Perspex is lightweight, waterproof and UV-resistant. Most importantly, it is a clearly versatile material. We can easily cut it to size, mould it and repurpose it.
At Plastic Sheets Direct, we supply a wide selection of Perspex products. From clear Perspex sheet to coloured acrylic and everything in between. You can choose from a variety of colours, finishes and thicknesses. You can also choose from different aesthetic effects. Mirror, frosted and fluorescent acrylic are only some of them.

Acrylic is Light and strong and available in a number of colours. Clear acrylic has very good light transmission, which is equal to glass. Polycarbonate is heavier but virtually unbreakable, but being softer it does scratch easier. Petg has similar properties to polycarbonate but is food safe.
Acrylic is the plastic sheet whereas Perspex and Plexiglas are brand names of acrylic sheet (a bit like calling a vacuum a Hoover)
