Product catalog summary
Introduction
PLAZCAST-LED sheets are cast acrylic (PMMA) sheets designed for LED lighting applications. They offer the same beneficial properties as standard Plazit-Polygal PLAZCAST sheets, with additional features tailored for LED use.
Technical Properties
  • Glossy and matte surface options
  • Excellent color stability and weather resistance
  • Lightweight and strong with high hardness
  • Easy to machine, thermoform, and cold-curve
  • Good chemical resistance and easy to clean
  • Environmentally friendly and recyclable
  • Compliant with REACH and RoSH standards
Optical Properties
  • High light transmission and uniform light diffusion
  • Effective at hiding LED "hot spots"
  • Available in various colors with specific light transmission percentages
Applications
PLAZCAST-LED sheets are ideal for LED lighting due to their ability to enhance light intensity and color while being cost-effective and eco-efficient. They are free from harmful substances and comply with ISO 7823-1 standards.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties
  • Density: 1.2 g/cm3
  • Tensile Strength: 74 MPa
  • Flexural Strength: 114 MPa
  • Vicat Softening Point: 105-112°C
  • Recommended Continuous Service Temperature: 82°C
Electrical Properties
  • Surface and Volume Resistivity: >1015 Ohm
  • Dielectric Constant: 3.6
  • Dissipation Factor: 0.06
Special Products
MC1710N is a new development designed for machining and LED insertion, offering variable light transmission with thickness for optimal diffusion.

Based on 30 years of experience in Acrylic (PMMA) cast sheets for lighting applications, the Plazit-Polygal group R&D team has developed a new range of products specially designed for LED lighting. LEDs are gaining popularity and are gradually replacing older illumination technologies. Unlike fluorescent or neon tubes, which have an 360° dispersion angle, LEDs have a much narrower angle (from 40°-140° for example) and under traditional lighting covers (opals and diffusers) they appear as tiny spots of light. This undesirable phenomenon is referred as "hot spots" PLAZCAST-LED sheets from Plazit-Polygal...
