Cast Clear Acrylic provides the greatest optical clarity and stability. The process of casting yields a more rigid product, making it more chemical resistant and suited for applications that require thick, clear and distortion free material.
If you are looking to work with a more versatile plastic that can be easily shaped, machined and laser cut, clear cast is a better alternative than extruded clear acrylic due to his higher molecular weight. Choose cast acrylic if you are looking to construct aquariums, POP displays, acrylic furniture, retail accessories, etc.
