What is Perspex®

Acrylic sheet is often referred to in Australia as Perspex® which has become its generic description.  Perspex® from Lucite® is in fact an internationally renowned brand of acrylic sheet which is recognised for its quality and extensive product range.

Perspex® is a trademark first registered in 1934. Its first application was for the Spitfire (fighter plane) panel canopies. Today Perspex® stands for the ultimate in innovation and quality in acrylic. Perspex® has always been at the forefront of innovative design-with each decade in its development demonstrating a further step in making Perspex® what it is today.

An extensive range of sheet sizes and thicknesses and an increased choice of colours, tints, surface textures and special effect products meant that Perspex® was ideally suited to take a place in the emerging global branding and corporate imaging culture that was a feature of the 80's and increasingly dominates today's global environment.

See the difference
When it comes to acrylic in the corporate signage and imaging sector, Perspex® has been first choice among leading brands for many years.

Perspex® solutions can be colour-matched to any conceivable shade, perform exceptionally well in all weather conditions and have excellent light transmission qualities.

These performance factors make it the preferred choice for multi-national brands that want to project their corporate and brand identities precisely and consistently across regions over a long period of time. These clients have seen the difference genuine Perspex® from Mitchell Plastics makes.
