RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".

Product Details
RS Pro Cast Acrylic Solid Plastic Sheets- PMMA Sheet : polymethyl methacrylate
From RS Pro a range of high-quality Cast acrylic solid plastic sheets available in a range of sizes and thicknesses.
What are Solid Plastic Sheets?
Solid plastic sheets are sheets of strong durable plastic or plastic like materials which are cut to size and sold in a wide range of sizes and thickness. These hard plastic sheets, once purchased, can then be cut or machined into components for the fabrication of products for use in a wide range of industries. Different plastics have different properties which lend them for use in specific applications
What is Acrylic?
Acrylic also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a clear engineering thermoplastic which is often used as a glass substitute. This type of plastic is more flexible, lighter and stronger than glass with a higher impact strength. It is also safer as it does not shatter into small pieces like glass. This also reduces damage to goods in transit saving costs. Acrylic plastic sheeting is also easy to work with and can be curved and formed into a variety of shapes and configurations using laser cutting and machining
What are the Advantages of Cast Acrylic Sheet?
Cast acrylic is poured into prepared moulds, and unlike the extruded version of this plastic the sheet retains its physical property in all directions. This results in the plastic maintaining its desired shape in the long term without sagging or cracking. Cast acrylic is of a higher quality than extruded acrylic with a harder surface as well as a better optical clarity. Cast acrylic also has greater thermal stability so it can be machined without melting and a higher resistance to solvents. This plastic sheet is thermo-formable which means it can be reworked hot. The only downside is that it has a less consistent sheet thickness than the extruded version

What Applications is Cast Acrylic Plastic Sheet used in?
Cast acrylic solid plastic sheet is useful for more demanding applications requiring high light transmission and transparency and is often used as a glass replacement. Its excellent weather proof properties, strength and impact resistance make it ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor applications. Applications include the following;
• POS signs and displays
• Display and exhibition cases
• Machine guards
• Electrical enclosures
• Lighting and light boxes
