About Acrylic Sheets

Acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, or PMMA) is a lightweight thermoplastic that combines optical clarity with ease of fabrication. It is approximately half the weight of glass at equivalent thickness, transmits up to 92% of visible light, and can be cut, laser-engraved, routed, drilled, and thermoformed with standard shop tooling. These properties have made it the default material for signage faces, retail displays, protective glazing, and architectural elements across Canada.

FIDAR System sources its cast acrylic from Hsin Hwa Chemical (HHC) of Taiwan, one of Asia's leading cast acrylic manufacturers. As Canada's exclusive HHC distributor, we offer the full HHC colour palette with consistent batch-to-batch colour matching - which matters when fabricators need to reorder materials for multi-unit or multi-site projects.

Cast vs. Extruded Acrylic

All HHC acrylic in our range is manufactured using the cell-cast process, which produces tighter thickness tolerances (±0.4mm), better surface hardness, and superior laser engraving results compared to extruded acrylic. We also stock extruded PMMA in clear, grey, and sparkling variants for cost-sensitive applications where the strict tolerances of cast acrylic are not required.

Acrylic Colour Range

The FIDAR System acrylic range covers every colour category a B2B fabricator could require: optical-grade clear (cast and extruded), fully opaque whites (6 colour codes), blacks and greys (6 colour codes including day/night), 20+ vibrant colour codes across seven colour families, 9 new soft pastel matte colours, mirror variants in gold, silver, rose gold, brown, and brightgrey, and the P95 frosted/privacy grade. Each colour code is a distinct formulation - not a paint or film applied over a base sheet.

Applications by Industry

The Canadian sign and display industry is the largest consumer of acrylic sheets, using them for sign faces, channel letter components, light box faces, and display structures. Commercial interior contractors specify acrylic for sneeze guards, partition inserts, and architectural glazing. Retail display fabricators use it for risers, cases, and brand-colour fixtures. Trophy and awards companies rely on cast clear and black acrylic for engraved plaques and recognition products. Aquarium builders and hobbyists use thick-gauge clear acrylic for tank panels. Makers and custom fabricators use coloured and extruded acrylic for creative projects.

Applications & Use Cases

Custom Fabrication

Laser Cutting & Engraving

Cast acrylic - especially clear and black - is the preferred substrate for CO2 laser cutting and engraving across Canadian sign shops, maker spaces, and custom fabricators. The cast process produces a flame-polished cut edge and a clean, high-contrast engraved result.

Signage & Graphics

LED Signage & Light Boxes

White acrylic (codes 7508, 7508M) and clear acrylic are standard face materials for LED-backlit signs and light boxes. The light transmission and opacity properties allow precise control of the illuminated appearance.

Retail & Visual Merchandising

Retail Display & Fixtures

Clear, white, black, and coloured acrylic are used extensively for retail display risers, product cases, pedestals, and brand-colour fixtures throughout the Canadian retail industry.

Architecture & Interior Design

Architectural Panels & Partitions

Clear, frosted (P95), and mirror acrylic are specified for architectural partition panels, feature wall elements, and interior glazing applications where glass weight, breakage risk, or fabrication complexity would be a concern.

Can I pick up acrylic sheets from FIDAR System's warehouse?

Yes. FIDAR System is located at Unit 29, 601 Magnetic Drive, North York, Ontario (M3J 3J2). Warehouse pickup is available during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 5:00pm). Contact us to confirm availability before visiting.

Is there a minimum order quantity for acrylic sheets?

There is no minimum order on standard-size sheets. Single-sheet orders are accepted at the listed per-sheet price. Volume pricing is available for orders of 10 or more sheets of the same SKU.

What is the difference between acrylic and plexiglass?

Acrylic and plexiglass refer to the same material - polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). 'Plexiglass' or 'Plexiglas' is a brand name owned by Evonik Industries, but the term is widely used generically for all clear acrylic sheet products. FIDAR System's acrylic is HHC cast PMMA - the same material type as Plexiglas, made by a different manufacturer.

What acrylic thicknesses does FIDAR System stock?

FIDAR System stocks cast clear acrylic from 1mm to 25mm (11 thicknesses), white and black acrylic in common thicknesses from 2.8mm to 18mm, coloured acrylic in 2.8mm, 4.3mm, and 5.5mm, extruded clear acrylic from 2mm to 6mm, and P95 frosted in 2.8mm, 4.3mm, and 5.5mm. The available thicknesses vary by colour code.

Does FIDAR System offer cut-to-size acrylic?

Yes. FIDAR System offers cut-to-size service for acrylic sheets. Standard cut sizes are available at listed prices; custom dimensions are available - contact us for a quote.

How is HHC acrylic different from other brands?

Hsin Hwa Chemical (HHC) is a Taiwanese manufacturer with decades of experience in cast acrylic production. As Canada's exclusive HHC distributor, FIDAR System offers batch-consistent colour codes with reliable reorder availability - important for fabricators who need to match materials across multiple production runs.

Can acrylic be used outdoors in Canada?

Standard cast acrylic has moderate UV resistance and is used in outdoor signage applications. For long-term outdoor exposure in direct Canadian sunlight, a UV-protective coating or UV-stabilized acrylic variant is recommended to prevent yellowing over time.
