PLEXIGLAS® GS and PLEXIGLAS® XT

Although PLEXIGLAS^® GS and PLEXIGLAS^® XT sheets are two different products obtained by different manufacturing methods, which therefore also differ in some of their fields of application, yet there are similarities between them as far as their properties are concerned.

PLEXIGLAS^® XT Solid Sheets (extruded acrylic)

• unexcelled weather resistance
• highly transparent (clear sheet: 92% light transmission)
• excellent surface quality
