Frequently Asked Questions

How strong is 10mm acrylic?

10mm acrylic sheets have good strength and durability. They can withstand impact and scratches better than glass. Acrylic has a flexural strength of around 10,000 psi, meaning a 10mm thick sheet can hold around 100 kg per square meter before bending or breaking.

What is the difference between acrylic and Perspex® sheets?

Acrylic and Perspex are essentially the same material - a transparent thermoplastic often used as a lightweight alternative to glass. The main difference is the brand name. Acrylic is the generic term for this plastic polymer, while Perspex® is a trademarked brand. All of the acrylic sheets we supply at Cut My are Perspex®, ensuring you the best quality plastic ate excellent value.

How do you cut 10mm acrylic sheets?

There are a few options for cutting 10mm acrylic:

• Use a specialised acrylic saw with fine teeth when cutting acrylic sheets, cutting slowly and steadily to prevent cracks and chips in the material.
• A table saw with an acrylic-suitable fine-toothed blade can also be used to cut 10mm acrylic sheets, taking care to cut gently and smoothly so as not to overheat the plastic.
• 10mm acrylic sheets can be precisely cut using a laser cutter calibrated for that thickness, clamping the sheet during cutting to avoid vibration.
• To avoid cracks, it is important to use sharp cutting tools designed specifically for acrylics when cutting 10mm sheets.

The key is to cut steadily and smoothly to avoid excessive heat buildup, which can cause cracking. Use sharp blade designs made for acrylic. Lubricating the cut line also helps.
