| Acrylics Fabricast is a leading stockholder and authorised distributor of Altuglas® Acrylics in all popular cast and extruded forms. Subject to minimum order, exacting corporate identity colours and non-standard thicknesses can be supplied. Standard acrylic sheet products:- |
| Altuglas® CN Cast Acrylic Excellent UV light resistance. Mechanical properties and transparancy retained over long lifespan. CN Clear transmits more light than normal glass and as much as crystal glass. Coloured cast retains initial appearance and does not lose translucency Dimensional Tolerances - Standard sizes: -0mm +10mm Cut sizes - ± 1mm/linear metre with minimum tolerance ± 1mm Blocks - Blocks to 300 mm thick manufactured as standard, Thicker than 90 mm comes finished “as cast” with guaranteed nominal thickness Cut Sections - min width 200 mm - cutting tolerance 0 + 10mm Colour Specifications - formula - Colour and light transmission of type “S” products are independent of thickness. Type “T” products are produced from sheets of reference thickness and light transmission. Colour therefore depends on thickness. PMMA is naturally transparent and even with higher filler contents, is never considered opaque. Slight batch colour differences may occur due to pigment variations. Whilst pigment manufacturers do not guarantee stability, this normally level 7 on blue scale defined by ISO 105 Weights - CN specific gravity is around 1.19. To calculate sheet weight, multiply square metre area by mms thickness and then by specific gravity Weight (in kg) = area (sq mtrs) x thickness (mm) x 1.19 |
| Altuglas® EX Extruded Acrylic Extruded from polymethylmethacrylate, then calendared to ensure extremely close thickness tolerances. Remarkable thermoforming properties. Dimensional Tolerances - Standard sizes or production cut sizes:- 0mm + 10mm Standard extruded sheets, less than 2mm thick, may be supplied with an “as extruded” edge. Cut sizes ± 1mm/linear metre with a minimum tolerance of ± 1mm For special tolerances, please contact Fabricast Colour Specifications - Colour, shade and light transmission matched to standard thickness references of sheets and will vary according to sheet thickness Weights - EX specific gravity is 1.19 To calculate sheet weight, multiply square metre area by mms thickness and then by specific gravity. Weight (in kg) = area (sq Mtrs) x thickness (mm) x specific gravity Storage - If the product is to be stored, seal the pallet to avoid moisture absorbtion Guarantee - EX sheet of any thickness retains virtually all characteristics after 10 years external exposure. The product guarantee covers light transmission, rigidity and tensile strength. Full guarantee details from our Technical Support Team |
| Altuglas® CI High Impact Cast Acrylic High resistance to impact and solvents, good weathering characteristics and excellent light transmission over a wide temperature range. Range consists of two product types:- Interpenetrated PMMA/elastomer network and CI CH 30 PMMA elastomer network Dimensional Tolerances - Standard sizes: -0mm +10mm Cut sizes - ± 1mm/linear metre with minimum tolerance ± 1mm Colours - CI - Clear only CI CH 30 - full range of on-demand colours, specials to min order Slight colour differences may occur between batches due to inherent pigment variations Weights - CI CH 100 and CH 160 specific gravity is around 1.16 and CI CH 30 is around 1.18. To calculate sheet weight, multiply square metre area by mms thickness and then by specific gravity. Weight (in kg) = area (sq Mtrs) x thickness (mm) x 1.16 |
| Altuglas® EI High Impact Extruded Acrylic Produced in the same form, with same advantages as standed extruded sheet, but impact strength is enhanced through resin characteristics. Dimensional Tolerances - Standard sizes or production cut sizes:- 0mm = 10mm Colour Specifications - Colour, shade and light transmission matched to standard thickness references of sheets and will vary according to sheet thickness Weights - Dependent on grade, EI has specific gravity between 1.15 and 1.17 EI 60 SG = 1.15......EI 60 SG = 1.16......EI 60 SG = 1.17 To calculate sheet weight, multiply square metre area by mms thickness and then by specific gravity. Weight (in kg) = area (sq mtrs) x thickness (mm) x specific gravity. |
