Most acrylic sheet is manufactured by either extrusion or cell casting. Cell cast is produced by pouring a liquid monomer into a eel! and then placing the cell in an autoclave. The benefits to cell casting are small minimums and a higher molecular weight. This method results in slightly better chemical resistance, heat resistance and clarity. The disadvantage to cell cast is that thickness tolerance within a sheet can vary more than other methods. Extruded sheets are produced by pushing the acrylic resin through a rectangular die that gives the sheet its shape.

Additional Information
Extruded sheets are usually less expensive and offer the user less fluctuation in thickness across the sheet. Feel free to discuss your application with an E&T Plastics professional. We' I help you select the right product for your unique application.Cast tolerances are determined by sheet size. Larger sheets have greater variance across a sheet and smaller sheets will hold a tighter tolerance. We have assigned class 1, 2 and 3 to differentiate sheet sizes.
