OPTIX is a continuously processed, high quality acrylic sheet that is crystal clear, impact resistant and weather resistant. A .125" general-purpose acrylic sheet is approximately 2 to 3 times more impact resistant than double strength window glass, and about 4 to 5 times more impact resistant than wire glass or other glasses. .250" general-purpose acrylic sheet is approximately 9 to 10 times more resistant than wire glass or other glasses.

It is ideal for almost any fabrication or glazing application and offers high molecular weight for superior thermoforming, bending and flame polishing. Special U.V. stabilization protects the sheet from yellowing and it's backed by a ten year limited warranty.

Primary applications for OPTIX include fabrication, picture framing, skylights, displays, signage, lighting and point of purchase. OPTIX acrylic is available in colored, impact modified, green edged and patterned sheet. For fabrication convenience and flexibility, OPTIX Acrylic Sheet can be ordered in custom sizes and thicknesses with Plaskolite's "Run-to-Size" program.
