6. Products
What is the difference between PLEXIGLAS® GS and PLEXIGLAS® XT?
PLEXIGLAS® GS and PLEXIGLAS® XT are manufactured differently and therefore each has its own specific advantages:
PLEXIGLAS® GS is manufactured in a casting process. Compared with PLEXIGLAS® XT, it is much more resistant to weathering and aging, less prone to stress cracking and yellowing, and has an even better surface quality.
PLEXIGLAS® XT is formed by extrusion and subsequent rolling. Compared with PLEXIGLAS® GS, it is easier to form and bond, has an even lower thickness tolerance and is generally somewhat less expensive.
Which PLEXIGLAS® LED products are best suited for my project?
The glazing of LED luminaires places high demands on the material used, because the punctual light of the LEDs must be distributed evenly, uniformly and without the formation of hotspots. For this reason, we have developed a special brand acrylic glass for perfect LED lighting.
The PLEXIGLAS® LED series offers you countless possibilities for a wide variety of lighting concepts. Learn more here.
How can I determine the appropriate panel thickness for my project?
We will be happy to help you determine the panel thicknesses suitable for your project. Please contact us for this via our contact form.
Is there a difference between PLEXIGLAS® and acrylic?
In terms of material, there is no difference. Acrylic glass is the common abbreviation for the material polymethyl methacrylate. PLEXIGLAS® is our trademarked product name and, in turn, the world's first acrylic glass. The outstanding quality and widespread use of our products eventually ensured that our name is also used as a synonym for the entire category.
What is the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate?
The materials are similar, but not identical. There are almost infinite applications for both materials.
Compared to polycarbonate, PLEXIGLAS® is about 5% more transparent, so the "real glass effect" is higher. It is also more scratch-resistant, UV-resistant and non-yellowing. Polycarbonate, on the other hand, is even more resilient than acrylic of the same thickness.
Who can I contact with certificate requests?
All PLEXIGLAS® products undergo extensive material tests and demanding test procedures by independent institutions. You will find the corresponding guarantees and test certificates in our download area.
If you do not find what you need there, please send us a request via our contact form.
