The sheet is optically superior when viewed though the surface. Exact thickness tolerances will vary by manufacturer.

Optix acrylic sheet is produced to squareness tolerances of 1 8 on sizes 42 and smaller. Sheet thicker than 4 500 is available as composite casting. Redco acrylic offers an economical and longer lasting alternative to glass with its high optical characteristics and low stress levels. Uhmw ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is an impact chemical and moisture resistant plastic that has excellent abrasion resistance and a low friction surface.

Sizes 1 16 3 8 are the extruded sheets and the 1 2 3 4 and 1 are the cast sheets.
