Acrylic is a transparent plastic material made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Its appearance is similar to glass, but it is much lighter, stronger, and more versatile. Thanks to its ability to adapt to different thicknesses, colors, and finishes, acrylic has become an essential material in industries such as advertising, architecture, interior design, and furniture manufacturing.
At South Florida Acrylics, we work exclusively with the highest-quality acrylic, manufactured and processed with precision technology to ensure strength, optical clarity, and durability.
Cast Acrylic
Cast acrylic is produced by pouring the liquid material into molds and allowing it to harden. This method results in a sheet with greater strength and superior optical quality. Its main advantages are:
-
Greater clarity and brilliance compared to extruded acrylic.
-
High resistance to impacts and scratches.
-
Easy to polish for restoring surfaces.
-
Ideal for detailed laser cutting and pieces that require perfect edges.
