So, what is acrylic? Acrylic is a durable, lightweight, clear polymer. As a versatile “wonder plastic,” acrylic can be used to substitute more fragile and expensive glass products. You can find acrylics used most anywhere you look: fuel, paint, automobiles, traffic signs, and much more. Because of its durability and resiliency against the elements, acrylic use has transcended into other realms of living.

Fluorescent lightbulbs, for example, are partnered with acrylic. The lenses are made of acrylic, which actually soften the harsh light and allows the light to be distributed evenly. Now pull out your cellphone. Chances are the screen is made of acrylic glass so you can breathe easy if it falls on the pavement without breaking.

Acrylic sheets are also another great substitute for glass and other textiles. This durable, low impact, lightweight plastic is ideal for protective films on car windows and rear/side view mirrors.

Most glass goods can otherwise be replaced with acrylic plastic. From cornea implants to helmets, you can find the right durable acrylic and plastic products at Min Plastics & Supply. Call (808) 847-1511 today or visit online for more information.
