ACrUIII€tGP <br /> ACRYLIC SHEET <br /> ACRYLITE®GP acrylic sheet is a cell-cast acrylic sheet made to exacting <br /> standards. It offers excellent optical characteristics,thickness tolerances, light <br /> stability,and low internal stress levels for consistent performance. <br /> Colorless ACRYLITE GP sheet carries an exclusive 10-year limited warranty on <br /> light transmission,your assurance of a quality product.A printed copy of the warranty <br /> is available from GYRO Industries or wherever ACRYLITE®acrylic sheet is sold. <br /> In addition to colorless sheet, a wide range of transparent,translucent and <br /> opaque colors are also available. <br /> • <br /> Chara tics ACRYLITE GP sheet is a lightweight, rigid thermoplastic material that has many <br /> times the breakage resistance of standard window pane glass. It is highly resistant to <br /> weather conditions.ACRYLITE GP sheet can be easily sawed, machined,thermo- <br /> formed,and cemented. It is suitable for most commercial applications and is ultraviolet <br /> light absorbing up to approximately 360 nanometers. <br /> For greater ultraviolet light transmission,ACRYLITE®OP-1 or ACRYLITE®OP-4 <br /> acrylic sheet may be used. For greater ultraviolet light absorption,ACRYLITE®OP-2 <br /> acrylic sheet filters out more of the UV radiation than regular ACRYLITE GP sheet <br /> grades. <br /> For security applications,ACRYLITE GP 1.25"sheet may be used. <br /> Because of its unique properties,ACRYLITE GP acrylic sheet is ideal for a wide range <br /> of applications,such as: <br /> • Merchandising Displays •Security Glazing • Industrial and School Glazing <br /> • Lighting Fixture Diffusers • Aquariums • Shower Enclosures <br /> • Decorative Paneling • Hockey Rinks •Skylights • Signs <br /> Availability ACRYLITE GP sheet is available in thicknesses from .060"to 2"(1.5 mm to 50 mm) <br /> and in more than 40 standard sizes from 36"x 48"to 72"x 120" (1.83 m x 3.05 m). <br /> Sheets can be furnished masked with paper or polyethylene film, or half-masked. <br /> Colorless sheets and over 50 standard colors are available from distributors <br /> across the country. Custom colors can be made to order. <br /> ACRYLITE GP sheet is also available with a non-glare, matte surface as ACRYLITE® <br /> GP P-95 and ACRYLITE®GP DP-9 acrylic sheet. Both retain the same physical prop- <br /> erties of standard ACRYLITE GP sheet with the addition of the matte surface. <br /> ACRYLITE GP P-95 sheet offers a one-sided textured non-glare surface,while <br /> ACRYLITE GP DP-9 sheet offers the same surface on two sides. <br /> Safety ACRYLITE GP sheet is more impact-resistant than glass. If subjected to impact <br /> beyond the limit of its resistance, it does not shatter into small slivers but breaks into <br /> comparatively large pieces.ACRYLITE GP sheet meets the requirements of <br /> ANSI Z 97.1 for use as a Safety Glazing material in Buildings (for thicknesses 0.080" <br /> [2.0 mm] to 0.500"[1 2.7mm]). <br /> Weather Resistance Acrylic offers better weather resistance than other types of transparent plastics. <br /> ACRYLITE GP sheet will withstand exposure to blazing sun, extreme cold,sudden <br /> temperature changes,salt water spray and other harsh conditions. It will not <br /> deteriorate after many years of service because of the inherent stability of acrylic. <br /> ACRYLITE GP sheet has been widely accepted for use in skylights, school <br /> buildings, industrial plants, aircraft glazing and outdoor signs. <br /> Dimensional Although ACRYLITE GP sheet will expand and contract due to changes in tempera- <br /> Stability ture and humidity, it will not shrink with age. Some shrinkage occurs when ACRYLITE <br /> GP sheet is heated to forming temperature. <br /> Light Weight ACRYLITE GP sheet is less than half the weight of glass,and 43%the weight of <br /> aluminum. One square foot of 1/8"(3.0 mm) thick ACRYLITE GP sheet weighs <br /> less than 3/4 pound (1/3 kilogram). <br /> Rigidity ACRYLITE GP sheet is not as rigid as glass or metals. However, it is more rigid than <br /> many other plastics such as acetates, polycarbonates,or vinyls. Under wind load, a <br /> sheet will bow and foreshorten as a result . •- lection.
