Plexiglas IMPACT Family

A C RY L I C S H E E T

Ever wished you could have a Plexiglas® acrylic sheet product n Improved Toughness
that has more impact resistance and toughness compared to
n Increased Chemical Resistance
standard Plexiglas® MC acrylic sheet? The Plexiglas® IMPACT
Family of acrylic sheet products provides this option! n High Optical Clarity

n Proven Weatherability
Depending on your application needs, there are four levels of
toughness and impact resistance to choose from. Plexiglas® T n Can be easily fabricated and thermoformed
acrylic sheet contains the lowest level of impact modifier. As the
n Thickness range from 0.080” – 0.236”
level of impact modifier is increased, Plexiglas® T2 and Plexiglas®
T3 are offered all the way up to Plexiglas® DR acrylic sheet, which n Colors available upon request
has the highest level of impact modifier throughout the sheet.
SHEET SIZE
The Plexiglas® IMPACT Family of products combines the beauty 48” x 96”
of Plexiglas® MC with added toughness. You no longer have to 60” x 96”
72” x 96”
sacrifice clarity, design flexibility, or fabrication techniques to
get the performance you desire. Custom sizes available
upon request

Data given are average values and should not be used for specification purposes.
1. This property will change with thickness. The value given is for the thickness indicated in the column heading unless otherwise noted.
2. Flammability tests are small scale tests and may not be indicative of how materials will perform in an actual situation.
3. Annealing Cycle: 16 hrs @ 80°C
4. Conditioned for 2 hours at 200°F and then room temperature for 48 hours

Plexiglas® acrylic plastic is a combustible thermoplastic. Observe fire precautions appropriate for comparable forms of wood and paper. For building uses, check code approvals.
Impact resistance is a factor of thickness. Avoid exposure to heat or aromatic solvents. Clean with soap and water. Avoid abrasives.
