Product description

Offering exceptional transparency and optical clarity, this 2mm clear acrylic sheet is manufactured from cast PMMA for the highest quality surface finish and machining characteristics. It maintains crystal-clear performance without yellowing over time, thanks to built-in UV resistance.

The cast acrylic formulation delivers superior optical quality — with light transmission exceeding most traditional glass. Both faces are polished for a smooth, professional finish with no visible distortion. UV-stable properties prevent yellowing and degradation over time, and the material provides effective thermal insulation and sound reduction for glazing applications.

Popular for sneeze screens, protective barriers, secondary glazing, motorcycle windscreens, greenhouse panels, exhibition stands, patio covers, boat windows, and display cases. The 2mm thickness suits applications ranging from lightweight fabrication to structural glazing. Can be cut, drilled, laser-engraved, CNC-routed, and thermoformed. Supplied with protective film and available cut to size.

Properties

Optical Properties

  • Light transmission: Up to 92% of visible light — exceeding most traditional glass.
  • Clarity: Crystal-clear with no visible distortion. Polished both sides.
  • UV resistance: Will not yellow or degrade over time.

Mechanical Properties

  • Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass.
  • Weight: Approximately half the weight of equivalent glass.
  • Thermal insulation: Better thermal performance than glass — effective for secondary glazing.
  • Sound reduction: Provides measurable acoustic damping compared to single-pane glass.

Workability

  • Can be cut, drilled, laser-engraved, CNC-routed, and thermoformed. Bonds with solvent-based acrylic cements.

Specification

  • Material: Cast acrylic (PMMA)
  • Thickness: 2mm
  • Fire rating: Self-extinguishing

Usage

Architectural & Glazing

  • Clear 2mm acrylic transmits up to 92% of visible light with no visible distortion — a premium alternative to glass for motorcycle windscreens, boat windows, and vehicle glazing.
  • Provides effective thermal insulation and sound reduction for secondary glazing applications.

Protective Screening

  • Sneeze screens, safety barriers, and protective partitions in retail, hospitality, and healthcare settings. Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass at approximately half the weight.

Display & Exhibition

  • Exhibition stands, display cases, product plinths, and museum-grade protective glazing. The crystal-clear finish showcases products and exhibits without visual interference.

Fabrication & Craft

  • Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, engraving, drilling, and thermoforming. Bonds cleanly with solvent-based acrylic adhesives. Available cut to size.
