Main Benefits Of UVAC-CL Clear Acrylic Sheet. Clear Acrylic Sheet offers Optical clarity, up to 92% light transmission; 50% lighter weight than glass, but much stronger; Easy to be machined and thermoformed to any shape; Excellent chemical resistance and thermal insulation; Low water absorption. Easy to glue and clean; This product is also available with an abrasion and chemical resistant coating upon request. ePlastics® stocks UV Filtering plexiglass in 1/8" and 1/4" thickness for protecting fine art and building custom museum vitrines. Though the material does not get discolored when exposed to UV rays, it can slowly deteriorate over time when left outdoors for long stretches, unless a protective coating is applied. PETG is also fairly impact resistant. Generally, it offers higher impact resistance than acrylic, but lower impact resistance than polycarbonate. It is used in high-impact applications and where optical transparency is required. ABS is usually injection molded or extruded. It is more rigid than polycarbonate. ABS performs well in applications that require toughness, and heat resistance. When considering polycarbonate vs. ABS for manufacturing parts, it can be difficult to choose between Here are some types of plexiglass: Polycarbonate from hardware stores is fairly rigid, scratches and cracks easily. Has a pliability at 240F (115.5C), isn't as resistant compared to UV special types. It can be found in clear, tinted, frosted, colors and UV reactive. Lexan is a brand name and it is more flexible, UV resistant. Anti-Glare and UV-Protection – Clear acrylic sheets are not naturally UV resistant, but they can be manufactured to be OP3 UV resistant and P99 glare resistant. (Acme Plastics’ frame grade plexiglass is 98% UV resistant.) If it’s not OP3 UV, a special UV coating can be applied to the surface for added protection.
UV coating. Photochromic lenses offer 100 percent UV protection, as do most polycarbonate and high-index lenses. Many sunglasses contain 100 percent UV protection as well. However, CR-39 plastic lenses do not contain 100 percent UV protection, and only block most of the sun’s harmful rays.

No plastic is 100% UV-resistant, but some have good UV stability in their natural state, while others require additives or coatings that impart UV resistance. There are two main types of UV additives: light stabilizers and UV absorbers, but carbon black , a fine black powder produced by the incomplete combustion of residues, is also used.
