CLAREX Low Moisture Absorption Acrylic (LA1)
Special formulation that absorbs less moisture than standard acrylic.
CLAREX Low Moisture Absorption Acrylic is a great choice for laminating applications since the sheet will have less tendency to cause the laminated stack to bow. It has also been beneficial for printing applications, allowing for higher definition.
Benefits:
- Optical Grade Cell-Cast Acrylic
- Minimize warp caused by moisture absorption
- Tighter dimensional tolerances of parts is possible
- Allows higher definition printing
- UV Transmission types are also available
- No retardation / No birefringence
- If we don’t already have the color you need, color-matching is available

Customization
Custom sheets & parts to meet the needs of your applications.
Build your own sheets. Do you have a unique design requirement that cannot be met with off-the-shelf UV filter sheet materials? CLAREX acrylic can be fully customized and produced from low-volume runs to mass production. Select thickness, formulation, additives, pigments, textures, surface coatings, and optical coatings to create thin acrylic sheets tailored to your application.
Typical lead time is 4–8 weeks. Finished parts and assemblies can also be fabricated to specification.
