General Information
Product Description

ACRYLITE® GP acrylic sheet is a cell-cast acrylic sheet made to exacting standards. It offers excellent optical characteristics, thickness tolerances, light stability, and low internal stress levels for consistent performance.

Colorless ACRYLITE GP sheet carries an exclusive 10-year limited warranty on light transmission, your assurance of a quality product. A printed copy of the warranty is available from CYRO Industries or wherever ACRYLITE® acrylic sheet is sold.

In addition to colorless sheet, a wide range of transparent, translucent and opaque colors are also available.

ACRYLITE GP sheet is a lightweight, rigid thermoplastic material that has many times the breakage resistance of standard window pane glass. It is highly resistant to weather conditions. ACRYLITE GP sheet can be easily sawed, machined, thermoformed, and cemented. It is suitable for most commercial applications and is ultraviolet light absorbing up to approximately 360 nanometers.

For greater ultraviolet light transmission, ACRYLITE® OP-1 or ACRYLITE® OP-4 acrylic sheet may be used. For greater ultraviolet light absorption, ACRYLITE® OP-2 acrylic sheet filters out more of the UV radiation than regular ACRYLITE GP sheet
grades.

For security applications, ACRYLITE GP 1.25" sheet may be used.

Because of its unique properties, ACRYLITE GP acrylic sheet is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as:
- Merchandising Displays
- Security Glazing
- Industrial and School Glazing
- Lighting Fixture Diffusers
- Aquariums
- Shower Enclosures
- Decorative Paneling
- Hockey Rinks
- Skylights
- Signs
