Acrylic block

Description

Block acrylic is an optically pure, extra-thick and dimensionally stable moulded plastic that excels in applications where clarity, stability and appearance come together. The combination of crystal clear transparency and high mechanical strength makes this material a reliable alternative to glass in both functional and aesthetic applications. Designers and technical specialists choose this type of thick transparent acrylic because of its consistent quality and versatility.

Properties of block acrylic

Thick acrylic combines strong material properties with excellent processability. The material is colourless, lightweight, rigid, practically unbreakable and easy to process. Thanks to its UV stability and weather resistance, block acrylic retains its brightness and does not discolour, even in outdoor applications. With a light transmission of 92%, the material remains optimally crystal-clear.

Stock

Acrylic block is available as standard in thicknesses of 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm and 100 mm. You can also order it fully customised.

Delivery and finishing of block acrylic

Block acrylate is Standard cut to size supplied. The saw cut is functionally finished and suitable for various technical applications. The product images show a polished version of thick acrylic block, so that the optical clarity and quality of the material are clearly visible.

For applications where a high-quality visual finish is desired, the acrylic block can be further processed, for example by polishing, milling or other post-processing. These additional processes for thick acrylic are carried out on request.

Applications

Block acrylic has been used widely, including for signing and lettering, displays, viewing glasses, awards, balustrades, stair treads, protective covers, machine parts, furniture applications, bar and counter fronts and shop displays. In many projects, the material replaces traditional glass with a safer and lighter alternative.

Processing options

Thick acrylic is easy to work with techniques such as sawing, milling, lasering, gluing, drilling, engraving, polishing and sanding. From our workshop, we deliver custom-made products according to drawing or design, where high-tech machinery and craftsmanship come together for optimal results.
