PLEXIGLAS® sheets: The versatile alternative to glass

PLEXIGLAS® is an acrylic glass that is known for its high quality and is offered with a guarantee of light transmission, hail resistance and non-yellowing. Visually and qualitatively, there are only minor differences to other types of acrylic glass. In common parlance, PLEXIGLAS® is often used synonymously for transparent plastic sheets, which can be traced back to the pioneering work of Otto Röhm in 1933.

We offer PLEXIGLAS® sheets in various thicknesses (0.5 to 8 mm) and formats (from 120 x 250 mm to 1500 x 2000 mm). Our range includes transparent, translucent and opaque variants in numerous colours as well as milky white PLEXIGLAS® in various light transmission rates. We also stock non-reflective PLEXIGLAS® with UV protection for professional picture framing.

PLEXIGLAS® can be processed in many ways. Scoring is suitable for cutting up to a thickness of 3 mm. With this technique, you score the material with an acrylic cutter and break it over an edge. For thicker sheets, jigsaws and circular table saws (fine-toothed and possibly with cooling) or lasers are recommended. Drilling can be done cleanly using drill bits with an angle of 60-90° and little pressure. There are various options for bonding depending on the requirements (Ruderer, Acrifix, dichloromethane). Polishing with a special cloth and paste ensures a high lustre. Deeper scratches can be treated with wet sandpaper in grit sizes 320 - 400 - 600 - 1000.
