Chemcast can be color matched by special quotation . Sheets can be furnished masked with paper, half masked, unmasked, static cling film masked, or with EVA poly film, a high-tack film without an adhesive. If subjected to impact beyond the limit of its resistance, it does not shatter into small slivers but breaks into comparatively large pieces. It will not deteriorate after many years of service. Note that the stability against deterioration from the weather elements pertains to clear acrylic.
Colored acrylics are subject to fading to varying degrees depending on the colorants used.
When used as a glazing material, acrylic will tend to bow toward the heat and humidity. It will reverse by the season, for example, it will bow inwardly during winter months and outwardly in the summer. When subjected to high winds, a sheet will bow and foreshorten as a result of deflection, requiring design considerations for rabbet depth and thickness for use in windows, domes and skylights and signs or other outside applications. When Chemcast GP is formed into corrugated or domed shapes, rigidity is naturally increased and deflection minimized. Continuously imposed design loads should not exceed 1500 psi.
