Acrylic (PMMA) is the premier thermoplastic for applications requiring superior transparency and long-term weather resistance. Often referred to by well-known trade names such as Plexiglas® or Perspex®, this material offers a light transmission of 92% (higher than glass) and natural UV stability, making it the industry standard for glazing, signage, and display fabrication.
At SRT Plastics, we stock a comprehensive range of premium PMMA sheets in Extruded (XT), Cast (GS), and sustainable Recycled (RC) grades. Whether you need precise thickness for vacuum forming or stress-free material for complex CNC machining, we supply high-gloss panels cut to your exact specifications, ready for immediate delivery across Europe.
As the industry standard for general glazing and display fabrication, Extruded (XT) Acrylic is manufactured via a continuous process that guarantees precise thickness tolerance. This uniformity makes it the superior choice for vacuum forming and line bending, as it heats and shapes evenly without thin spots. Ideal for lightboxes, POS displays, and skylights, XT offers a cost-effective solution with exceptional clarity, though it requires care during machining to avoid stress cracking.
The premium choice for heavy-duty fabrication and engineering applications. Produced by casting liquid resin between glass plates, Cast (GS) Acrylic has a stress-free internal structure, making it impervious to the crazing often seen in extruded sheets. It offers superior chemical resistance and optical purity, making it the only option for complex CNC machining, laser engraving, and solvent bonding. It is widely used for medical manifolds, heavy-gauge aquariums, and high-end architectural features.
Achieve your environmental targets without compromising on quality. NUDEC®PMMA RC is produced using ~50% post-industrial regrind, creating a closed-loop material that retains the exact same 92% light transmission and mechanical strength as virgin acrylic. This halogen-free, UV-stable sheet allows you to reduce the carbon footprint of your project while meeting strict LEED and BREEAM sustainability criteria. It behaves identically to standard acrylic in fabrication and finishing.
While extruded acrylic demands high volumes for color changes, Cast Acrylic offers unique production flexibility. This manufacturing process allows for custom color matching with surprisingly low minimum order quantities, making it ideal for corporate identity projects. We can produce small batches of specific Pantone shades for your signage or retail displays, giving you total design freedom without the constraint of ordering huge tonnage.
