When used in structural, mechanical, or aesthetic applications, performance plastics offer a significant reduction in weight over traditional materials that can help you travel further for less money while also limiting your environmental impact.
PVC-Acrylic
About PVC-Acrylic
PVC-Acrylic or Acrylic/PVC, also known by tradenames such as Boltaron®, or Kydex®, is a thermoformable, high-impact, fire-rated sheet used widely for a variety of aerospace and industrial applications. It is available in a variety of grades, types, textures and colors, with certain forms offering integral metallic-colored top-layer or decorative cap.
PVC-Acrylic sheet delivers a number of beneficial properties from both of its constituent materials: the PVC imparts outstanding toughness and chemical resistance; the Acrylic provides impacts strength, superior rigidity and formability.
PVC-Acrylic is used in a variety of applications including aircraft and rail car interiors, mass transit vehicle interior components, equipment housings, and medical products. The inclusion of PVC-Acrylic in these products helps make them fully compliant with all relevant regulations, including FAR Flammability, Heat Release and Smoke, and Boeing/Airbus Toxicity.

Applications & Industries
Aerospace
There are a variety of reasons for using plastics – like PAI, ECTFE, PTFE, PEEK, PPSU, PVC-Acrylic, and much more – in aerospace applications, particularly airplanes.
Automotive
Plastics weigh less than alternative materials such as metal, and less weight means less fuel consumption, which is attractive to consumers when deciding what model to purchase.
Related & Associated Products
Expanded Foam PVC
Expanded Foam PVC sheet is a versatile material, often used in the sign and graphics industry. Expanded closed-cell polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets are durable and rigid with a matte finish.
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM)
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is a rigid sheet made of two sheets of pre-finished aluminum, bonded to a polyethylene core. Light-weight, without sacrificing durability, ACM sheets are often used for outdoor signage, and channel letter backings.
ABS/PVC
ABS/PVC blend sheet, such as Boltaron, offers some of the best aspects of these two common thermoplastics. Excellent for thermoforming applications, it maintains high consistency from lot to lot fabricating, and uniformity in deep draws and sharp corners.
