Optium Acrylic

Optium Acrylic

Definition: Optium Acrylic is a premium, ultra-clear acrylic glazing material designed for picture framing and art display. It offers exceptional transparency, making it virtually invisible from most viewing angles, while providing protection against environmental factors.

Overview

• UV Protection (varies by model): Some variants include UV filtering to protect against fading.
• Durability: Shatter-resistant and more impact-resistant than standard glass.
• Glare Reduction (for select models): Certain Optium products reduce reflections for optimal viewing.

Applications

• Frames where weight, safety, or clarity are critical considerations.

Installation Considerations

• Compatible with standard framing techniques, including mats, spacers, and backing boards.
