ACRYLITE® GP and ACRYLITE® FF

ACRYLITE® solid sheet is available as cast acrylic (ACRYLITE® GP) or extruded acrylic (ACRYLITE® FF). ACRYLITE® GP and ACRYLITE® FF sheet differ because they are produced in different ways. The applications for which they are intended are also partly different, but their properties are nevertheless similar.


ACRYLITE® GP (cast)

• absolutely clear
• break-resistant
• unequalled resistance to weathering and aging
• high quality surface; high-gloss, textured (contemporary structures) or satin (ACRYLITE® GP P-95 or DP-9)
• good resistance to dilute adds and to alkalis
• limited resistance to organic solvents
• very easy to work, similar to hardwood
• easy to thermoform over a wide range of conditions
• easily and firmly bonded, e. g. with reactions adhesives (e.g. ACRIFIX™ 1R 0192)
• burns more or less like hardwood; very little smoke generation; combustion gases are non-toxic and non-corrosive
• max. service temperature approx. 176 °F

ACRYLITE® FF (extruded)

• absolutely clear and transparent
• break-resistant
• unequalled resistance to weathering and aging
• very good surface; high-gloss, textured or satin (ACRYLITE® Crystal Ice)
• good resistance to dilute adds and to alkalis
• limited resistance to organic solvents
• easy to work; similar to hardwood
• very easy to thermoform under optimal, constant conditions
• very easily bonded, also with solvent adhesives (e.g. ACRIFIX™ 1S 0117)
• burns more or less like hardwood; very little smoke generation; combustion gases are non-toxic and non-corrosive
• max. service temperature approx. 158 °F
