Acrylic can be supplied in many colours and finishes. Clear acrylics are by far the most popular, however, also available is a full range of colours and tints in solid and semi opaque. Also available are anti reflective finishes, frosted and pigmented fluorescent. Acrylics can also be sold with a silicate green edge to give a plate glass effect.

Acrylic can be ordered in several grades including:

Extruded - the most cost effective solution.
Cast - The best mechanical properties for machining and optical clarity.
Impact modified - For increased strength.
