Cast PMMA Plexiglass® sheets / blocks
Cast sheets made of Plexiglass® (PMMA) from Erson stand out with excellent transparency, uniform thickness, and a characteristic low internal stress structure typical of castings. Unlike extruded sheets, cast Plexiglass® sheets can be freely milled, drilled, engraved, thermally bent, and polished to a glassy shine—without the risk of cracking or distortion.

Technical Data
Cast PMMA Plexiglass® sheets / blocks
Cast Plexiglass® sheets are characterized by light transmittance of over 92%, a density of 1.19 g/cm³, and temperature resistance from -40°C to +70°C. Low internal stresses resulting from the casting process ensure excellent dimensional stability and resistance to cracking during mechanical and laser processing. The material is fully resistant to UV radiation — it does not yellow or lose transparency. Thickness tolerance is typical for cast sheets and depends on the thickness of the sheet.
Cast PMMA
Material
Lower internal stresses than in extruded sheets — does not crack during milling or laser cutting.
92% light transmittance
Optics
The same transparency as glass, at half its weight
Milling, drilling, engraving
Processing
Cast PMMA accepts any form of processing without resistance. CNC milling, drilling, laser cutting, thermal bending, engraving — at every stage, the edges come out clean and smooth. Thanks to low internal stresses, the sheet does not crack, chip, or deform during processing. After milling, the edge can be polished to a mirror shine — without painting and without additional chemicals.
UV resistant
Durability
Cast PMMA sheets are fully resistant to UV radiation and weather conditions, which is why they are also suitable for outdoor use. They do not yellow, become dull, or lose transparency even after years of exposure to the sun. The material is half the weight of glass, yet much safer — it does not shatter into sharp shards. Maintenance is limited to wiping with a soft cloth.
