Flexible, Strong, Rigid, High Performance — Plastic Sheet for Any Need

Lightweight plastic sheets are available in materials ranging from flexible and pliable plastics to those that are strong, rigid, and impact resistant. Whether you need a plastic with moderate strength and moisture resistance, a sheet made for high performance and high temperature resistance, or materials that are low cost and easy to thermoform and fabricate, there is a sheet for your application. Plus, certain grades of plastic materials are replacing wood in amusement parks, playgrounds, and marine structures. Why? Plastics won’t rot, swell, or succumb to insect damage.

Learn more about plastic sheet material types that are:

• Easy to thermoform
• Strong and stiff
• Impact resistant
• Easy to fabricate
• Glazing materials
• Light diffusing
• Weatherable and perform well in outdoor environments

Additionally, sheet materials can be formed into simple shapes or more complex structures. Coatings are also available to support additional application requirements.

Popular Plastic in Sheet Form

Each plastic product comes in a variety of grades allowing you to select the best option to meet your application requirements. Top material grades include general purpose (GP), abrasion resistant (AR), bearing grades, glass filled (GF), flame retardant, low flammability, UV resistant, and FDA compliant.

Types of Plastic Sheets: Clears, Colors, Finishes, Textures, Patterns, and More

Clear Plastic Sheets. If you can see clearly (through it), there’s a strong likelihood it’s plastic. See-throughs take on a glass-like appearance but are lightweight and often stronger. Clear sheets are found in medical devices, POP displays, manifolds, machine guards, and window glazing.

Transparent acrylic and polycarbonate sheet materials both have outstanding aesthetic properties in reflected light (daylight) and transmitted light (for back-lit signs). Also, UV stable grades are good choices for outdoor sign faces and channel letters.

Strong, Clear Plastic Sheets. Strong, clear plastic sheets are used for laminated structures and applications for transportation, architectural, and security glazing systems.

Colored Plastic Sheets. Decorative colored plastic sheets populate our retail spaces and storefronts with durable and distinct plastic materials for eye-catching indoor and outdoor signage, printing, and display graphics. KYDEX® Thermoplastic Sheet color possibilities are limitless with a variety of finish and texture offerings to complement any design. Often, KYDEX® sheet replaces high-pressure laminated sheet (HPL) for medical furniture or countertops. Colored plastic sheet materials that meet FDA requirements for direct and indirect food contact are used for commercial and industrial cutting boards and machine parts.

Thin to Thick Plastic Sheets and Small to Large Sheet Sizes

Plastic sheets range in various thickness, sizes, and even shapes to suit the application. From 0.06 inch to 6 inches, with some custom sizes available, common thicknesses range from 0.25 in, 0.5 in, 0.75 in, and 1 inch up to 6 inches.

An often-requested 4 ft x 8 ft (48 in x 96 in) sheet of plastic is followed by 24 in x 24 in, 24 in x 36 in, 24 in x 48 in, and so on. Yes, there’s likely a unique combination of thickness, width, and length to accommodate nearly every customer application. For example, thin acrylic and polycarbonate plastic sheets are used to retrofit existing light fixtures while oversized, thick UHMW or HDPE sheets are used for massive dock and pier fendering systems.
