Plexiglass-Acrylate XT clear; what is it?
It is one of the most popular plastics. This is because it is an excellent substitute for glass. It is up to 25 times stronger than glass, making it a lot safer. It is also much cheaper than glass and much lighter. Plexiglass-Acrylate XT is UV-resistant and easy to keep clean. But be careful with scratches. Plexiglass-Acrylate XT has a long life span and is colourfast. Plexiglass-Acrylate XT is also known in the market as acrylic, Perspex or PMMA.
The designation XT stands for the way it is produced. Plexiglass can be cast (GS) or extruded (XT). The Plexiglass-Acrylate XT sheets have a higher stress in the material. Cast sheets have little or no tension. In practice, this makes an XT sheet more difficult to process. The production process of XT sheets is less labour-intensive and therefore the sheet is more favourable to the price.
