Acrylic Sphere/Plexiglass Ball - Transparent/Clear - 1/32" Diameter (Pack of 1000)

• Excellent low cost alternative to glass with half the weight and 10 time the impact strength
• Acrylic's excellent optical clarity does not darken or deteriorate from exposure to UV light, and transmits up to 92% of light with a refractive index of approximately 1.49
• Typical uses include aquariums, viewing ports, furniture accessories, chandeliers, and exterior lights of automobiles.
• Notable trade names include Acrylite, Lucite, PerClax, R-Cast, Plexiglas, Optix, Perspex, Oroglas, Altuglas, Cyrolite, and Sumipex
• Acrylic, is also known as Polymethyl Methacrylate or PMMA
• Acrylic is simple to clean and polish using a clean cloth and cleaning compounds. It is possible to remove light scratches from acrylic with special abrasive compounds.
• Light transmission is the technical term for transparency to light. Clear Acrylic has a 92 percent light transmittance rate — one of the highest light transmission rates possible. Most acrylic plastics will allow light of wavelength greater than 375 nm to pass through the material, but they will not allow UV-C wavelengths (100–290 nm) to pass through. Even very thin acrylic sheets of less than 5 millimeters (mm) do not let UV-C light penetrate.
