1/8" (3mm) Milky White Acrylic 12"x12" Sheet Translucent Plexiglass Cast AZM

Very happy with this product. It is as described and is slightly translucent. The build is sturdy, and I was able to cut it with a small Dremel tool with it cracking or splintering.

Cutting the piece is easy, clean, and only has to sand part of it so as to not snag. Used for my number plate for the house. The frosting was perfect as it allowed light out and did not drown out the numbers as the last sign did.

I wanted and used this translucent plastic sheet/panel to replace the (darker) glass sides of a rectangular pendant lamp. I mostly liked the lamp, except its original glass sides were too dark, so most of the light from the light bulb inside was absorbed into and lost in the glass. Duh, kinda’ defeats the purpose of a lamp, huh?! Which is why I wanted to replace the glass with something less dark/opaque, more nearly transparent, to let more light out. And plastic sheet seemed real fine for the sides of this small lamp - with 4 rectangular sides each a little under 5” x 8” - as long as it was the right thickness and milky white translucency. Regarding the translucency, I wanted a material that would diffuse the light a fair bit but block/absorb very little of it, still pass most of the light through. I asked the seller here (AZM) to recommend a particular one of their plastics for this purpose, and they quite clearly recommended this one, this milky white translucent material, which has turned out to be a good recommendation, a good choice. Although it took a couple of tries and several days to get the seller to answer, so their customer service is something of a mixed bag. Regarding the thickness, the original glass sides were like 0.14” thick, slightly over 1/8” (0.125”), with metal channels just over 1/8” inside dimension built into the lamp to hold the glass all around. So the 1/8” advertised thickness of this plastic sheet would have been real fine, would have fit easily yet securely. Except this product is NOT 1/8” thick, also NOT 3mm (0.118”), it is precisely 0.104” thick, just barely over 1/10”, almost 20% below advertised thickness. Which is doubly egregious, because not only is it NOT the thickness they advertised; they also make a very big point of rightly warning that the nominal, advertised sheet size of 12” x 12” is indeed only nominal, that the actual dimensions might be up to 1/8” smaller (due to saw kerf/cutting effects), creating a heightened (but incorrect) expectation that the advertised thickness must be the actual thickness in the absence of any similar warning about it. But no, again, the thickness is wrong, NOT as advertised, only 0.104” (~1/10”) thick, vs. 1/8” advertised. Which means it doesn’t fit and sit all that well in the channels in my lamp, I had to kludge in some additional material to hold these plastic panels against rattling loose. Very tacky, both in the seller and in my lamp. This thickness deviation also means that this plastic sheet is ~20% less strong than it should be - which difference in strength hopefully will never matter in my application, mounted in the sides of a hanging lamp, but could very much matter in other applications. I first contemplated cutting this plastic sheet into the size pieces that I needed with some kind of saw, say a chop saw/miter saw, or a Bosch jig saw. I expect both would cut well enough, although making a big mess of plastic dust to clean up, and not cutting a real straight, smooth line. So I eventually went with manually heavily scoring the plastic on both sides along the desired break/cut line, then strongly clamping it to support it on all sides and then just snapping it - which worked pretty well, got me pretty good, straight, clean breaks/cuts, with no material lost to saw-cut kerf lines - although cost me some material too in that each such cut/break has to be all the way across the material, can’t snap it just part-way across. This plexiglass sheet product is mostly just what I wanted, but I rate it 4 stars, deducting one star for its being ~20% below advertised thickness, which did complicate my use of it.

I needed a couple of these to diffuse the light from bare bulbs in a basement room. You can't see the bulb shape when it's on and the light diffuses well. It does reduce the brightness, so keep that in mind if you need to do similar. The bulbs are LED and about an inch away from the material with no melting or warping.

Buen material translúcido

They call the dimensions 12x12, but they are shy on both sides by 1/8, which does not help those who want the correct 12x12. If they called it nominal dimensions, I would not have ordered it

Nice piece, but a bit pricey. Works very well for photography. It does scratch easily.

I used this as the lens for a map light that I fabricated for my project car. It worked great. Kind of pricey for the sheet, especially since I only needed a small (1" x 3.5") piece, but it got the job done and works great.

Had to buy a special took to cut it because none of the tools I had could get through it without damaging it. Very thick, sturdy. It worked for the purpose it was bought for.
