CAB
Clear, flexible plastic sheet with excellent drape and blister forming characteristics
CAB (cellulose acetate butyrate) Sheet (Uvex®) is a clear, easy to thermoform polymer. CAB sheet offers resistance to ultra-violet rays which makes it a good option for outdoor applications.
Tech Tip– Buffing scratches out of CAB is very difficult; be careful not to scratch during fabrication.

* Mechanical properties are corrected for thickness and therefore apply to all thicknesses of sheet, although slight deviations may be found in thin gauges. Values for any given specimen of sheeting may be approximated by means of a suitable conversion factor based on the dimensions of the specimen.
