Ultra UV Resistance. ALTUGLASâ„¢ acrylic resins are known for their intrinsic UV resistance. However, for applications where PMMA needs to protect other materials like colored PVC or ABS from UV rays, UV-blocking PMMA is required. Our specialty UV Protection (UVP) range resins feature greater UV resistance for capstock applications such as
These cast acrylic sheets are clear and resemble glass in clarity, brilliance, and transparency, but are half the weight. They are easier to machine than extruded acrylic and are scratch- and UV-resistant. They are commonly fabricated into tanks, see-through barrier panels, and light fixture lenses. Tensile Strength Rating: Good-Excellent
Non-UV plastics (and a lot of claimed UV resistant plastics) have a bad reputation because in 5 years they fade and become brittle. This is especially true in places where solar makes the most sense – TX, AZ, NV. Here in Colorado we have a mile less of atmosphere to filter the UV through.
Nylon (Polyamide) – The generic name for all long-chain fiber-forming polyamides with recurring amide groups. Polyamides (Nylon) comprise the largest family of engineering plastics with a very wide range of applications. Polyamides (Nylons) are often formed into fibers and are used for monofilaments and yarns.
Acrylite OP-3 is designed to meet the unique needs of picture framers, museums, and artists. OP-3 protects artwork and documents from harmful ultraviolet light (UV), which is the primary cause of fading and degradation. Since OP-3 is acrylic, it is more evident and more impact resistant than glass and fabricates with the ease of acrylic.
Plexiglas MC acrylic sheet absorbs 65-70% of all UV rays. Colorless Plexiglas sheet exhibits the same excellent resistance to discoloration when exposed for 20 years or more to constantly lit fluorescent lamps, even when the Plexiglas sheet is only two inches from the lamp.
