Acrylic Sheets:

 Signages need acrylic sheets that are white in colour and transluscent so that this could be used for backlighting. It is suggested to use sheets of thickness 2 to 3mm for this purpose. It is essential that these sheets are UV stabilised - especially if they are used outdoors.

The Impact modified acrylic sheets have increased impact strength with no substantial loss of rigidity, and have better light transmission and weathering performance over the acrylic sheets.

Hot Forming: The sheets can also be Vacuum formed into different forms using a mould.

Specifications:
Tensile strength: 62 MPa
Water absorption: 0.36 %
Light transmission: ca 92%

Suggested manufacturer: ICI Acrylics
