Description
More flexible than glass or metals, acrylic is more rigid than many other plastics such as acetates, polycarbonates, or vinyl. Extruded acrylic sheet is more economical and has a lower forming temperature, while the cast acrylic sheet is more scratch-resistant. Both extruded and cast acrylic sheets comply with FDA requirements for food contact, which also makes it an ideal choice for restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, cafeterias, and much more. NOTE: components made of Acrylic sheet should not be exposed to high heat sources such as high wattage incandescent lamps unless the finished product is ventilated to permit the dissipation of heat.
