Plexiglas® MC  Plexiglas® MC
Plexiglas® is the acrylic plastic sheet produced by the Altuglas International of Arkema Inc. In its colorless form, Plexiglas® acrylic sheet is a crystal clear (with a transparency equal to optical glass), lightweight material having outstanding weatherability, high impact resistance, good chemical resistance, and excellent thermoformability and machinability.

Plexiglas® MC acrylic sheet is made by a proprietary continuous process known as melt calendering. It offers many of the same high-quality features as Plexiglas® G sheet, and also has exceptional thickness tolerance and can be thermoformed to greater detail. Plexiglas® MC acrylic sheet is well suited to nearly all the conventional uses for which acrylic sheet has long been noted.

Both Plexiglas® G and MC sheet have excellent resistance to most chemicals, including solutions of inorganic alkalies and acids, such as ammonia and sulfuric acid, and aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, octane and VM&P naphtha.
