How much does it cost to purchase white cast acrylic board
White cast acrylic panels are highly favored in high-end display, LED backlight panels, sanitary ware, medical equipment casings, and other fields due to their pure white and full color, strong light blocking ability, and high-end matte texture. But in procurement, many procurement personnel are confused about the differences in pricing from tens to hundreds of yuan per square meter for the same labeled "white cast board"?
The cost of white casting board is slightly higher than that of transparent board, as the addition of colorants increases material costs and production complexity. In addition, for every 1mm increase in thickness, the cost also increases by about 15% -30%. Zhejiang Yifang New Materials, as the source factory, supplies directly at the "factory first-hand price", which is more than 30% lower than the market price for the same quality. This article will provide you with a complete procurement guide for white cast acrylic panels from several dimensions including price, features, specifications, usage, and common questions.
White cast acrylic board is a high molecular weight white opaque board made from methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer through casting molding process. The casting process involves injecting liquid MMA monomer into a glass mold to slowly polymerize and solidify. This "slow work produces fine work" process endows the white casting plate with a series of excellent properties:
The color is pure white and full, with strong shading ability: the white casting board is fully colored, and the color is completely consistent from the surface to the inside, with stable chromaticity. Even after deep carving, the exposed part still maintains the same pure white color. The white board has excellent light blocking effect and extremely high light blocking rate, making it very suitable for applications that require complete shading or backlit display.
High hardness and impact resistance: Cast acrylic sheets have a very high molecular weight, making them harder and crack resistant. The impact strength is 6 to 17 times that of ordinary glass, and it is much tougher and less prone to breakage than glass at the same thickness.
Excellent weather resistance and UV resistance: The cast board has good weather resistance and is not easily discolored or aged. After adding UV absorbers, it can be safely used outdoors without fading or yellowing for 8 to 10 years. Pure new material acrylic board undergoes structural polymerization during processing and is equipped with ultraviolet absorbers, which have extremely high strength and UV protection function.
Excellent processing performance: The white cast plate supports various secondary processing such as laser cutting, CNC engraving, hot bending forming, drilling, screen printing, etc. After processing, the dimensions are stable, not easily deformed, and the cut is flat and smooth, making it very suitable for high-precision customized projects. There is unparalleled flexibility in color system and surface texture effects, and the product specifications are complete.
Safe and environmentally friendly: Acrylic material is non-toxic and harmless even in long-term contact with humans. The gas produced during combustion does not contain toxic components. Waste materials can be thoroughly recycled, and the recycling process is simple and easy.
The thickness specifications of white cast acrylic panels are very diverse, with mature product lines ranging from ultra-thin panels to ultra thick panels, which can meet different requirements for load-bearing, impact resistance, and structural stability in various application scenarios.

Standard size: The most commonly used standard size on the market is 1220 × 2440mm (4 feet × 8 feet), with a single sheet area of approximately 3 square meters. In addition, there are various specifications such as 1220 × 1830mm (4 feet × 6 feet) and 2050 × 3050mm. Customized size is also a major advantage of casting boards, as Yifang can cut any size as needed.
Thickness tolerance: Due to the characteristics of the casting process, the thickness tolerance of white cast plates is generally controlled within ± 0.2mm. Verification can be carried out through multi-point measurement with calipers during procurement - the measured thickness of the four corners and middle of high-quality boards should be within ± 0.2mm of the nominal value.
Recommended thickness for use: 3-5mm is the mainstream thickness for white boards and also the most cost-effective range in the market; 8-10mm is suitable for furniture partitions, equipment covers, and load-bearing display racks; 12mm or above is suitable for sanitary ware and engineering structural components.
White cast acrylic board has a wide range of applications due to its advanced color perception, strong light shielding, and good weather resistance.
LED Backlight Display and Optical Applications: White casting board is the preferred material for the backlight layer and backlight characters of LED display panels. The high reflectivity of white can effectively enhance the uniformity and brightness of backlight, prevent light crosstalk, and ensure that each light-emitting unit is independent and clear. At the same time, the white base makes the color lighting effect more vivid and pure.
Advertising signs and commercial displays: White acrylic panels are used for advertising signs, display stands, lightbox panels, brand image walls, etc. White, as a versatile color, can perfectly match with various brand colors, creating a simple and sophisticated visual impression. The white acrylic board of Jinbao brand is suitable for various scenarios such as printing, advertising, bathroom cabinets, carving, etc.
Architecture and interior decoration: wall panels, ceiling decorations, cabinet door panels, partition screens, etc. White cast board can be used for wall, ceiling, and furniture surface inlay, with good waterproof, moisture-proof, and anti deformation advantages. The white acrylic sheet of ACRYLITE GP P-95 presents a matte surface when in direct contact with objects, reducing reflection and making it an ideal choice for making signs and displays.
Sanitary ware and furniture: bathtub, shower room, washbasin, kitchen countertop, dressing table, etc. White bathroom acrylic board has the advantages of good insulation, smooth surface and easy cleaning. White acrylic sheets with a thickness of 2mm to 5mm are widely used in sanitary ware products.
Medical equipment and industrial applications: medical device casings, laboratory equipment panels, instrument surface panels, etc. The medical field has extremely high requirements for the purity and safety of materials. The white cast board is non-toxic, resistant to chemical corrosion, easy to clean and disinfect, and fully meets medical application standards.
Craft gifts and customized products: various white crafts, photo frames, trophies, display models, etc. The soft texture and easy processing characteristics of white board make it a popular material for customized gifts and cultural and creative products.
Q1: What is the approximate price of white cast acrylic board?
The price of white cast board is determined by the thickness, raw material grade, production process, and purchase quantity, with the following reference price range:
Thickness grade, thickness range, reference price (yuan/sheet), reference price (yuan/㎡)
Thin Economy 0.6mm-1.5mm 23-50 approximately 8-17
Conventional all-around 1.7mm-3.0mm 56-96 approximately 19-32
Thickened industrial grade 4.0mm-8.0mm 126-248 approximately 42-83
The above is the reference price of Zhejiang Yifang Source Factory (excluding tax and shipping costs), which is based on transparent boards. White boards usually have a 10% -20% increase in cost due to the addition of colorants. Domestic thin plates within 5mm, extruded plates can be obtained for tens of yuan per square meter, and the price of casting or imported materials will double.
Q2: Why do some white acrylic sheets turn yellow quickly?
The main reason for the yellowing of white boards is the use of recycled materials in production. Pure new material acrylic board with added ultraviolet absorber, will not fade or turn yellow after 8 to 10 years of outdoor use; The UV resistance of the board containing recycled materials is extremely poor, and it will turn yellow and fade within six months at most. Poor quality boards can also become brittle, white and crack on the surface under ultraviolet radiation and high temperature. Therefore, it is recommended to choose products that are clearly labeled as 100% brand new and have UV resistant formulas when purchasing white casting boards, and can be cross validated through "one look, two touches, three smells".
Q3: Is the white casting board easy to scratch? How to maintain?
The surface hardness of the white cast board (about 2-3H) is lower than that of glass, and it is easily scratched by sharp objects. Compared to transparent boards, slight scratches on white boards are less noticeable visually. For daily cleaning, it is recommended to use a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent diluent to gently wipe, avoiding using a dry cloth to forcefully wipe or cleaning tools containing abrasive particles. Mild scratches can be repaired with professional acrylic polishing agent, while frosted mild scratches can be polished.
Q4: How to distinguish whether the white casting board is brand new or recycled?
In the case of white opacity, it can be distinguished by the following methods: first, look at the edge - the cutting edge of the new casting plate is smooth and transparent, while the edge of the return plate may appear yellow or black; Second smell of cutting - the new material has a small cutting odor and less smoke, while the cutting of the return plate has a pungent odor and more smoke; Three thickness checks - the thickness tolerance of the new sheet is stable (± 0.2mm), and the thickness of the return sheet is uneven; Four checks on packaging - the new material board has a protective film with soft rubber edge packaging at the factory, and the quality of the protective film for the return material board is poor. Conditional buyers can also request samples for cutting testing and odor comparison.
Q5: Can white cast boards be hot bent? How to process?
Okay. White cast acrylic sheets have excellent thermoforming properties and can be softened and molded by heating to 160-170 ℃. It is recommended to control the heating temperature of the oven at 160-170 ℃ for hot bending. The heating time should be about 2-3 minutes for 3mm thin plates and extended for thick plates. The board can be taken out and bent when it softens and droops. It is recommended to use acrylic specialized drill bits for drilling, with low speed, slow feed, and air-cooled heat dissipation to prevent local melting caused by friction overheating. The cutting parameters for laser cutting white casting plates and transparent plates are similar, and the incision is smooth and flat. It is recommended to use waste materials for temperature testing and cutting before processing to determine the optimal parameters before formal processing.
