Opaque Red Acrylic Sheet (12" x 24", 1/4" / 6mm)

Cast Acrylic (PMMA) Sheet Description What is cast acrylic? Cast Acrylic Sheet is a rigid plastic panel made from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Some of the registered trademarks under which acrylic is sold are Plexiglas (Arkema) and Lucite (Lucite International / DuPont). Acrylic is available in many colors and opacities, but in its pure form is highly transparent – essentially glass-like in appearance. You can buy acrylic sheets for laser cutting, school projects, home projects, and more right here at MakerStock, the ultimate materials marketplace for modern makers. This red has 1% light transmission. You can see dark shadows through it when held up to the light. Specifications and Dimensions As seen in the photos, this acrylic is translucent (nearly opaque) red. Red acrylic sheets for laser cutting have many uses, and you can buy this red plexiglass online in whatever sizes and thicknesses you need. We do custom sizing and custom cutting as well! We stock acrylic in 1/8 and 1/4 nominal thicknesses. The actual thickness of the "1/8" is 0.118in and of the "1/4" is 0.241in. Of course, MakerStock provides pre-cut acrylic panels in the right sizes for the laser cutter, or to a size convenient for your project. All MakerStock panel dimensions are cut to tolerances of +0in/-0.188in. That is, the panel will always be up to 3/16in undersized so that it will definitely fit a machine with the corresponding nominal bed size. Our acrylic comes with a paper or plastic film applied to both sides of the material. This protects it from scratching. Once you’ve finished fabricating your parts, you simply peel off the film. The density of acrylic is about 1180 kg/m3 or 0.043 lb/in3, so acrylic is quite a bit heavier than wood, but only about 40% of the density of aluminum. Industry color code 2157.
