Plexiglas® MC Acrylic Sheet -Poly(Methyl Methacrylate), manufactured by Atoglas ● ATOFINA Chemicals, Inc., is the authentic, world renowned, quality brand-name general purpose acrylic product offered to you by Modern Plastics. In its colorless form, Plexiglas® acrylic sheet is a crystal clear (with a transparency equal to optical glass), lightweight material having outstanding weatherability, high impact resistance, good chemical resistance, excellent thermoforming and good machinability.

Plexiglas® MC grade acrylic sheet is made by a proprietary continuous process known as melt-calendaring. It offers many of the same high-quality features as Plexiglas® G grade sheet, and also has exceptional thickness tolerance and can be thermoformed to greater detail.

Plexiglas® is available in a wide range of colors, patterns, thickness, sheet size and grades. Please visit our website for additional information.

Material Notes:

Install Plexiglas® sheet away from sources of intense heat or flame. Observe building code stipulations and restrictions. In order to maintain the brilliant luster of Plexiglas® sheet and to avoid scratching, proper cleaning techniques are required. Use only approved (Modern Magic® MicroFiber) cleaning cloths and our line of (Novus®) acrylic polishes and scratch removers for usage on all acrylic sheet products. (See related products)

Important: Plexiglas® acrylic sheet products are sold with either a paper-masking (PM) or a green film-masking (FM). These peel off coverings protect both sides of the material from scratching during handling. Paper-masking costs a bit more then film-masking, but you are assured of the best protection of the acrylic sheet. Paper-masking however, does take a bit more labor to peel off then the film-masking. Please note that Plexiglas® is listed in metric sizes which converts into "nominal thicknesses" in inches; for example,
