Standout characteristics of our clear plastic acrylic sheets
Our clear acrylic sheets offer near perfect optical clarity and make for great alternatives to glass. That's because acrylic is around 10 x stronger, yet much lighter to handle. Clear Perspex sheet is also clearer than glass and actually transmits more light.
A clear acrylic sheet from The Plastic People also benefits from a high gloss surface, and is exceptionally hard-wearing and easy to form or bend – as well as being physically easier to lift, hang, carry or transport.
Should acrylic be dropped, or impacted in any way – it’s much less likely to break. If our clear plastic does break, it won’t shatter in the same way as glass. It won’t break into tiny sharp shards but into a couple of large, easy to pick up pieces, which makes it ideal for situations where safety is paramount.
Acrylic is great for outdoor use – as it has excellent UV resistance and general weathering properties. So, as well as arguably being more straightforward to install – a clear acrylic sheet is much more durable and suitable for outdoor use than a standard glass panel.
Policril, Acryglass XT, Oroglass, Altuglas, Plexiglas and Perspex are all brands of acrylic you may have heard of. We find that Perspex is the better product & we only supply Perspex acrylic sheets.
Acrylic sheet applications
Transparent plastic sheets can be used for a variety of different things. The main applications of clear plastic panels typically include:

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
