RS PRO White Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Plastic Sheet, 500 mm x 300 mm x 5 mm

From RS Pro a range of high-quality extruded acrylic solid plastic sheets available in a range of sizes and thicknesses.

Solid plastic sheets are sheets of strong durable plastic or plastic like materials which are cut to size and sold in a wide range of sizes and thickness. These hard plastic sheets, once purchased, can then be cut or machined into components for the fabrication of products for use in a wide range of industries. Different plastics have different properties which lend them for use in specific applications

Acrylic also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a opaque engineering thermoplastic which is often used as a glass substitute. This type of plastic is more flexible, lighter and stronger than glass with a higher impact strength. It is also safer as it does not shatter into small pieces like glass. This also reduces damage to goods in transit saving costs. Acrylic plastic sheeting is also easy to work with and can be curved and formed into a variety of shapes and configurations and cut into extremely fine shapes using laser cutting technology.

Extruded acrylic is produced by stretching so its properties are preserved in one direction. It has a consistent thickness across the sheet making it ideal for fabrication.

• Very good optical clarity

This extruded opaque acrylic plastic sheet with its unique properties and ease of use is suitable for use in a wide range of industries including the following;

• Transportation Industry

Acrylic solid plastic sheet is useful for applications requiring high light transmission and transparency and is often used as a glass replacement. Its excellent weather proof properties and impact resistance make it ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor applications. Applications include the following;
