Acrylic

• Optical Clarity: Excellent light transmission. Will not yellow after prolonged sun exposure.
• Weather Resistance: Despite heat, cold, sunlight, and humidity acrylic maintains its original appearance and color.
• Safety: Shatter-resistant, increase earthquake safety, and burglar-resistant. Increase safety with windows glazed of acrylic.
• Light Weight: Even with its strength and durability, it is only half the weight of glass.
• UV Light Resistance: Clear acrylic sheets resist ultraviolet light degradation. Each sheet has a ten-year-limited warranty against yellowing and loss of light transmission.
• Chemical Resistance: Acrylic sheets resist many chemicals, including ammonia, dilute acids, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
