Usa Industrials BULK-PS-CAC-457 Cast Acrylic Sheet

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-CAC-457 is a clear cast acrylic plastic sheet measuring 1/16 inch thick, 48 inches wide, and 72 inches long. Cast acrylic differs from extruded acrylic in its superior optical clarity, tighter thickness tolerances, and better resistance to moisture absorption. This sheet weighs approximately 9.29 pounds and is suited for fabrication environments where machinability and transparency are required together. Fabricators, glaziers, and industrial maintenance technicians work with this material for applications demanding a lightweight, rigid, see-through panel that resists humidity and environmental exposure.

Cast acrylic sheet at this thickness is commonly used in light-duty glazing, machine guards, display enclosures, tank fabrication, and window replacement in industrial and commercial settings. The 48 x 72 inch format is a standard full sheet size that can be cut, drilled, routed, or thermoformed using conventional shop equipment. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication runs and single-piece custom work where optical clarity is a primary requirement.

Key Features

• Optically clear cast acrylic construction for high light transmission
• 1/16 inch nominal thickness suitable for light-duty glazing and enclosures
Full 48 x 72 inch sheet size supports standard fabrication layouts
• Moisture resistant - resists humidity and water absorption in service
• Machinable with standard woodworking and plastics tooling: saws, routers, drill bits
• Rigid and lightweight at 9.29 pounds per sheet

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cast acrylic sheet for fabrication into tanks, windows, machine guards, display cases, and similar light-duty transparent panel applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping acrylic sheet should be performed by experienced fabricators using tooling rated for plastics to avoid cracking or chipping at edges. Always peel protective masking film only after final cuts are complete to protect the surface during handling. When fastening, use appropriate plastic-safe fasteners and avoid over-torquing, as acrylic is notch-sensitive and can crack under point stress. Solvent cementing and thermoforming operations should be performed in a well-ventilated area following applicable shop safety guidelines.
