Extruded (XT) clear acrylic sheet

Description

Extruded clear acrylic sheet (XT plexiglass) from Pyrasied is a high-quality plastic sheet with exceptional clarity. Pyrasied stocks a wide range of acrylic sheets in both cast (GS) and extruded (XT) quality, available in clear and colour. Both types are of excellent quality, but differ in production method.

What is extruded (XT) acrylic?

Extruded acrylate (XT acrylate) is produced via a continuous extrusion process. In this process, the liquid acrylic (PMMA) flows out of the reactor and is brought to the desired thickness via rolling. This process produces a dimensionally stable and cost-efficient plastic sheet.

The biggest advantage of XT acrylic is that it has hardly any thickness tolerance. The sheets therefore always have exactly the thickness you order. This makes extruded acrylic particularly suitable for applications where the material must fit into a profile or a perfectly flat surface is required.

Clear XT acrylic: crystal-clear and durable

Clear XT plexiglass is one of the most popular transparent plastics thanks to its exceptional clarity. With a light transmission of 92%, it is even brighter than glass. In addition, acrylic is 25 times stronger than glass, lightweight and easy to work with.

Stock

Pyrasied offers extruded clear acrylic (XT) in thicknesses from 2 to 20 mm. Also available is Ecocrylic XT, a 100% recycled variant. The sheets are available directly from stock.

Looking for thicker acrylic? Then choose clear acrylic block (up to 100 mm thick, cast quality).
For thinner precision applications, you can opt for Hesaglas, a high-quality cast acrylic variant.

Applications of extruded clear acrylic (XT)

Clear extruded plexiglass is widely used in such applications as:

• Aluminium windows and (temporary) glazing
• Partitions and dividers
• Displays, showcases and wall displays
• Furniture and interior elements
• Boat windows, light boxes and shower walls

Processing options

XT acrylic is easily processed using techniques such as sawing, milling, lasering, hot bending, gluing, drilling, faceting, polishing, matting and printing.
