Nov 9, 2007 #2 patprimmer New member Nov 1, 2002 13,816 have you tried matweb Have you tried the raw materials suppliers What the heck, I had it at hand From Data it is 1.5 for acrylic. 1.59 for PC. 1.58 for PET. 1.46 for TPX. 1.60 for Styrene. 1.53 to 1.58 for PVC. From memory Acrylic has the lowest haze factor and the highest transmission, with transmission being over 90% PC comes at around 85% PVC will be worse than PC. PET is probably about the same as PC. I don't have data for cellulosics or Polyurethanes. Regards eng-tips, by professional engineers for professional engineers Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora.

There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted. - James Branch Cabell Upvote 0 Downvote
