Cast and extruded acrylic

Extruded acrylic sheets are made by pushing the molten material through a die, creating a glossy surface and a slightly wavy texture. Cast acrylic sheets are produced by pouring liquid acrylic into a mold, creating a smoother, more uniform surface with less internal stress. Cast sheets offer better scratch resistance and optical clarity. In contrast, extruded acrylic sheets have a more robust texture and can be used in a wider range of applications.
