Cast Clear Acrylic Maxcrylic 3mm – MAXAC013

Cast Clear Acrylic 3mm

Cast clear acrylic sheets at a thickness of 3mm are popular materials used in various fabrication projects due to their clarity and glass-like appearance. This material is made through a casting process where the acrylic monomers are poured into molds and then polymerized to form rigid sheets. The 3mm thickness provides a good balance of strength and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has excellent optical properties, high gloss, and is resistant to impact and weathering. Additionally, it can be cut, shaped, and finished with relative ease.
