Plexiglass Sheets Infrared TransmittingNote: All plexiglass sheet is infrared transmitting. This grade is opaque to visible light and allows infrared light through. Unlike glass, you can put all grades of plexiglass in front of DVR's, cable boxes, DVD players, etc. and your remote control, wireless router, etc. will still work. This acrylic 1146 grade material is black and only transmits infrared, which makes it ideal for hiding a CCD video camera.
CYRO's ACRYLITE® IR acrylic 11460 - infrared transmitting (IRT) sheet was specifically formulated for projects requiring ultraviolet (UV) and visible light blockage while allowing infrared (IR) transmission starting about 750nm. The physical properties of this product are the same as standard ACRYLITE® FF extruded sheet and thus the same fabrication techniques apply. What makes this product special is its ability to transmit light in the IR region. We stock this in 1/16" and 1/8".
This material is also available in injection molding pellets by special order. For high volume applications, we offer injection molding services for IRT projects.
Pictured below is a spectral transmission curve comparing CYRO's standard black ACRYLITE® FF sheet (color 9H01, formerly 199-0) to CYRO's ACRYLITE® FF IRT sheet (color 9C20, formerly 1146-0). A comparison of the two colors shows that standard black ACRYLITE® FF sheet blocks UV, visible, and IR light completely, while the ACRYLITE® FF IRT sheet blocks light in the UV and visible regions while transmitting light in the IR region of 750 nm and on.
|1/8" = .118" = 3mm
||1/2" = .472" = 12mm
|3/16" = .177" = 4.5mm
||3/4" = .708" = 18mm
|1/4" = .236" = 6mm
||1" = .944" = 24mm
|3/8" = .354" = 9mm
Thickness tolerances are +/- 10% on acrylic sheets and can vary throughout the sheet. Normally we see variations less than 5%. Sheets sizes can vary from the manufacturer and some are cut from larger sheets. Because of this, the sheet dimensions are nominal and might be +/- saw cut.
