Acrylic plastic sheeting is a product of modern materials engineering. Several different types currently exist but all of them share a few basic characteristics. For instance, they are translucent which means that light passes through them with relative ease. Some variants are even transparent like glass.
They are also lightweight yet extremely tough. It is for this reason that they are commonly used in high-pressure environments wherein glass-like quality is desired but actual glass is too brittle for the task. The thickest options are able to withstand blows with great force. The thinnest ones, on the other hand, are useful for their weight-reduction properties.
These sheets are not only functional. They are visually appealing as well. There are different surface treatments available for decorative purposes. There are glossy, matte, frosted, and embossed options. A wide range of colours are out there to match their intended environment.
