Acrylic Plastic
Acrylic material, often referred to by familiar trade names like Plexiglas® and Acrylite®, is strong, lightweight and more resistant to impact than glass yet still provides optical clarity, making it ideal for applications where transparency is essential, like windows and display cases. It’s highly resistant to weather, chemicals, UV radiation and yellowing over time, which makes it suitable for outdoor applications like signage and skylights. Acrylic is also recyclable, contributing to its sustainability profile compared to other materials. Highly versatile acrylic plastic sheets are available through Midland in various sizes, shapes, colors and textures.
Midland Plastics stocks acrylic plastic sheets, rods, and tubes for various applications and offers custom sizes. Contact Midland Plastics to be your go-to acrylic plastic sheet supplier.
