ACRYLIC SHEET 4′ X 6′

Ultraviolet: While acrylic transmits 73% of UV, quartz can transmit 100% of UV, even though quartz is expensive. Regular glass                           only transmits 0.6% of UV. Although acrylic can’t filter ultraviolet (UV) completely, and UV can penetrate it. A layer of                          coating can be applied to the surface of acrylic to increase its UV screening effectiveness and property. In addition,                           compared with polycarbonate, acrylic shows better stability when exposed to UV light.

Infrared:  Acrylic transmits infrared (IR) of a wavelength less than 2800nm, whereas it blocks IR of wavelength less than                                    25,000nm. There are special color acrylics that allow IR transmission of a specific wavelength and block visible                                  light (applicable to remote control or thermal detection).
