Description
Pyrasied stocks acrylic in Cast (GS) and extruded (XT) acrylic in clear and colour. The difference between the two is in the production process.
Cast acrylic is produced per sheet and can therefore be easily produced in small quantities. This offers great flexibility. Cast acrylic is therefore stocked in various thicknesses, colours, surface textures and design variants.
Extruded acrylic is made using a continuous extrusion process. The liquid acrylate flows out of the reactor and is brought to the desired thickness through a rolling process. XT acrylate is produced in larger volumes, making it cheaper than GS. However, the continuous extrusion process gives you less flexibility.
The biggest advantage of Extruded (XT) clear acrylic is that it has virtually no thickness tolerance. As a result, the sheet always has the exact thickness you order. For applications where the material is in a profile or a flat surface is required, we always recommend using extruded acrylic.
