Acrylic Sheets diffuse LED light sources.

Lighting trends show increasing demand for and use of LED light sources. With continued LED lighting innovations, the ability to diffuse light without compromising overall light transmission has become critical, especially for indoor lighting. To address this market need, Altuglas International, a division of Arkema Group, introduces a family of acrylic sheet, Plexiglas MC Diffusion, designed to provide LED luminaire OEMs and optics suppliers with excellent light diffusion performance, along with exceptional light transmission.

Plexiglas MC Diffusion acrylic sheet is available in two grades. Plexiglas MC Diffusion 100 acrylic sheet offers a smoother sheet surface while Plexiglas MC Diffusion 200 acrylic sheet has a textured surface.

Plexiglas MC Diffusion 100 acrylic sheet provides 87 percent light transmission; Plexiglas MC Diffusion 200 acrylic sheet provides 84 percent light transmission. Both grades provide a greater than 95 percent haze to allow for excellent light source hiding capability. The diffusion quality is what makes the sheets exceptional choices for many light source applications. The uniform light distribution softens LED light hotspots and offers the flexibility to place lenses in close proximity to the light source while still diffusing light uniformly.

Plexiglas MC Diffusion sheets, like all standard Plexiglas sheet offerings, exhibit all the fabrication attributes that customers have come to expect. Designing with both grades is easily achieved.

This versatile material can be used in lighting applications for commercial, industrial, residential and professional uses. Besides the typical lighting applications, Plexiglas MC Diffusion acrylic sheets can be used in a wide variety of applications such as skylights, POP displays, store fixtures, signage, and decorative furnishings.

Sheet features include: - Excellent diffusion characteristics - Exceptional light transmission - Lightweight - half the weight of glass - Easily fabricated and thermoformed

Sheet offerings include: - Standard thicknesses of 0.080 and 0.118 - Standard sheet sizes - Customized sizes available upon request
