Acrylite Acrylic

Acrylite Acrylic sheet is manufactured in the United States by Cyro Industries. Its characteristics include: durability, clarity, consistent quality, versatility, and outstanding performance.

Optical Clarity: Excellent light transmission. Will not yellow after prolonged sun exposure.
Weather Resistance: Despite heat, cold, sunlight, and humidity acrylic maintains its original appearance and color.
Safety: Shatter-resistant, earthquake safe, and burglar-resistant. Increase safety with windows glazed of acrylic.
Light Weight: Even with its strength and durability, it is only half the weight of glass.
UV Light Resistance: Clear acrylic sheet resists ultraviolet light degradation. Each sheet has a ten-year-limited warranty against yellowing and loss of light transmission.
Chemical Resistance: Acrylic sheet resists many chemicals, including ammonia, dilute acids, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. A chemical resistance chart is available upon request.
