8mm Clear Acrylic

This 8mm clear acrylic sheet transmits up to 92% of visible light — exceeding the optical clarity of standard glass while being up to 17 times more impact-resistant and approximately half the weight. It is a premium alternative to glass for glazing, screening, and display applications.

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 8mm 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.

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)
