ACRYLITE digital print products are also available in various colors and properties, including markerboard and non-glare surfaces. Its neutral-clear color enables printing of any color, combination and opacity, resulting in translucent and opaque signage.
ACRYLITE® LED sign grade sheet SG 65 White WRK40 GT
Also referred to as 2406 White, this extruded acrylic is available in flat sheets with TM – Paper masking on both sides (some printed). A smooth, impact-resistant material, 2406 White is translucent and UV-stabilized, allowing 65% light transmission.
Due to these qualities, 2406 White is an ideal choice for day or night applications, especially those using channel letters or perforated film. This material also boasts excellent weatherability for indoor and outdoor applications.
Creative Signage Solutions from ACRYLITE®
ACRYLITE® sign grade was specifically designed for the sign industry, offering a perfect balance of light weight, superior optical clarity, and exceptional ease of fabrication. It also provides greater impact resistance compared to standard acrylic sheets. Other benefits include:
Exceptional Impact Resistance: This impact-modified acrylic is approximately 20 times stronger than standard acrylic, offering superior durability and resistance to breakage during storage, fabrication, shipping, and installation.
Optimized for Light Transmission: Designed for first-rate light transmission, it works seamlessly with LED, neon, incandescent, and other light sources.
Easy to Fabricate: With tight thickness tolerances during production, this material can be easily sawed, drilled, routed, painted, and cemented. It also resists chipping and melting, making fabrication simple.
Lower Labor & Energy Costs in Thermoforming: ACRYLITE® sign grade thermoforms at lower temperatures and doesn’t require pre-drying in normal conditions, bringing significant reductions in labor and energy costs.
Unmatched Color Consistency & Uniformity: This material provides superior color consistency and outperforms polycarbonate (PC), even PC with secondary UV protective coatings.
Outstanding Weather Resistance: ACRYLITE® sign grade endures harsh sunlight and other outdoor conditions, maintaining its clarity, color, and physical properties over time without significant degradation.
