Features:
Rowad Acrylic sheets (RAS) are thermoplastic sheets with a sparkling crystal clarity and outstanding surface hardness, combined with superior
weatherability and good chemical resistance. These high quality extruded sheets, are suitable for a variety of applications. Due to the inherent
UV resistance of PMMA, these sheets are very much ideal for outdoor applications. RAS can be easily fabricated and are compatible to almost
all fabrication techniques like sawing, forming, routing, shaping and drilling. A few highlights about RAS are outlined here below:
1. Have a light transmission of above 85%
2. Are UV resistant
3. Are light weight
4. Can be easily formed
5. Have good chemical resistance
Applications: Colors:
RAS can be used for a variety of applications. A few of these RAS are available in both transparent and opaque colors. Sheets
applications are: with designs are also available. New colors as per customer
1. Decorative sign work and display requirement can be developed.
2. Light Fixtures
3. Thermoforming
4. Window Glazing
5. Bath Tubs/Shower Trays

Resistance to Chemicals: Forming and Fabrication:
RAS are resistant to a wide range of chemicals at room RAS can be thermoformed, sawed, routed, drilled, etc. Pre-drying
temperature. RAS is unaffected by alkalis, non-oxidizing acids, of the sheet is an essential requirement prior to vacuum forming.
detergents and aliphatic hydrocarbons. RAS can be easily hot bent and shaped into various shapes and
forms. RAS can be bonded to itself or other materials.
Thermal Characteristics: Maintenance:
RAS exhibit good thermal insulation and prevents heat loss. RAS can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge using mild
soap or detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cotton cloth or moist
cellulose sponge to prevent water spotting.
