PERSPEX® Diffuse uses a new generation technology suitable for use as a diffuser in both back lit and edge lit light panels. The grade is uniquely positioned to maximize light output and performance; offering superior brightness and even light distribution.
This is a double-sided matt range of opal light diffusors available in 4 grades with 60 %, 70 %, 80 % and 90 % light transmissions; giving customers optimised panel brightness and evenness in tandem with their choice of LEDs and ceiling panel performance specifications. The diffusion power is second to none, along with its outstanding hiding capabilities for LED/light hotspots allowing better design flexibility and slimmer lighting panels.
In addition to the key benefits, PERSPEX® Diffuse owns all of the main characteristics of a standard PERSPEX® acrylic sheet, including a 10-year guarantee, 100 % recyclability and meeting standard luminaire performance requirements. This product can be optimised when used with PERSPEX® Edge and PERSPEX® Reflect, all three products are a part of the same range: PERSPEX® Light.

PERSPEX® FIVE-DOT-MISSION
PERSPEX® acrylic sheet, one of the best quality acrylic materials in the world, has been assessed in line with our MISSION: TOGETHER. RESPONSIBLE. PERSPEX® currently achieves a FIVE-DOT classification with a total of 6 points respectively 9 points.
Recycled content
The current production of our PERSPEX® cast acrylic sheets already contains a proportion of recycled MMA material. The majority of this material is waste from the manufacturing process which can be completely recycled by means of pyrolysis to provide raw material (MMA) for new acrylic sheets.
CO2 Footprint
Owing to the MMA used as a raw material in the manufacturing process, PERSPEX® contains fossil carbon. However, thanks to its lower density, PERSPEX® PMMA contains less fossil carbon per m2 than other transparent plastics.
PERSPEX®re uses 100% recycled MMA, which significantly reduces the consumption of new materials and makes a valuable contribution to waste and CO2 reduction.
Product life cycle
Acrylic glass (PMMA) is a robust, highly transparent and extremely durable material featuring excellent UV stability and resistance to weathering and ageing. We guarantee a service life of thirty years (transparent sheets) as well as ten years (standard colours) for the PERSPEX® product family. The sheets are protected against the harmful effects of ultra violet rays and there are no significant changes with regard to optical or mechanical properties. When processed, used, and cared for in an appropriate manner, the life cycle of our sheets can be considerably longer than ten years. An extended service life also leads to saving resources as fewer replacements are required. Our PERSPEX® sheets are used in a wide variety of interior and exterior applications where priorities include durability, UV stability and, above all, transparency (92 % light transparency for colourless sheets). PERSPEX® is a product offering sustainable, long-term use and excellent product performance.
Recyclablility
PERSPEX® sheets can be converted back into their original raw material, methyl methacrylate (MMA), using various recycling processes. Most modern recycling processes convert PMMA sheets or waste from production processes into a MMA liquid monomer using chemical recycling (depolymerisation). The recovered MMA can then be reused to create a new product from an existing one. Renowned chemical companies are currently undertaking intensive research into improved depolymerisation technologies to achieve a more efficient and sustainable means of recovering the precious raw material MMA, which is used in manufacturing PERSPEX® acrylic sheets. These developments support efforts made by the market to increase the rate of PMMA recycling in Europe.
