The Greencast® 72006 gloss/gloss 5mm light diffuser is made from cast acrylic and offers great diffusivity against a sharp price.
The 72006 5mm has a two-sided gloss surface, is 5mm thick and with a diffusivity of 0.90 it spreads the light well on a short distance from the light source. The diffusivity is a score that refers to how well the diffuser scatters the light. Because of the high diffusivity, the distance factor is just 1.1. This means that the distance between the diffuser and the LEDs needs to be 1.1 times larger than the distance between the led strips or led button cells themselves to get a nice and diffuse light result. The light transmission of the Setacryl GS 2006 is 30%. The light transmission refers to the amount of light that comes through the diffuser. It is measured on the other side of the light diffuser than where the light source is positioned.
The Setacryl GS 2006 diffusers are part of our collection with standard diffusers. These diffusers are the classic, 30% light transmission (opal) sheets and fit well with classic light sources and situations with plenty of space between diffuser and light source. They are good diffusers in relationship to their price. Do you need a diffuser that is more efficient and keeps more of the light, please check our professional and advanced light diffusers.
These professional and advanced diffusers are more efficient than the standard (opal) sheets. Efficiency refers to how well a diffuser performs. It is a measurement that combines the light transmission and the diffusivity. An efficient diffuser costs more to purchase but earns itself back by saving energy and increasing the light output.
The Greencast® 72006 is made from cast acrylic. Light diffusers from cast acrylic have the best light technical properties and are optically clear, UV-stable and colourfast. Because of this, the diffusers can be used inside and outside and the colour will not be influenced by the sun. The fire classification of cast acrylic is E according to fire norm EN 13501. This is the European (EU) classification.
Cast acrylic can be produced in smaller batches relatively easy. This allows us to offer the broadest collection of thicknesses and types in cast acrylic.
The Greencast® 72006 with a two-sided gloss surface in 5mm thickness is in stock in sheet size 3050mm x 2030mm. If you need a smaller size for your application, we gladly offer material cut to size.
The Greencast® 72006 gloss/gloss is also available in the same sheet size in 3mm and 4mm thickness.
If you are looking for a standard diffuser with a high level of diffusivity and a low distance factor, the Greencast® 72006 5mm is a great choice. And since cast acrylic has excellent light technical properties, this diffuser can be used in many circumstances. You can use the 5mm version of the Greencast® 72006 with two-sided gloss surface for bar fronts, signing, decors, displays and other esthetic applications. Because the material is UV stable and the colour is not influenced by the sun, you can safely apply it inside and outside.
From Setacryl, we also offer the GS 2002 gloss/gloss 5mm. This sheet offers a slightly lower level of diffusivity but gains some light transmission. If you want to keep more of the emitted light, this sheet is a great choice.
For constructive applications, like floors, walls and full bars and desks, a thicker diffuser is more suited. Two examples are the Satinglas 51100 satin/satin 10mm or 15mm and the PyraLed®3 satin/satin in 10mm or 20mm thickness. These sheets have a high level of diffusivity and are strong enough for constructive use.
Cast acrylic has thickness tolerance, making it less suitable for the use in light fixtures and profiles. Extruded acrylic (XT) has minimum thickness tolerance, making it a perfect match for these applications. A higher level of diffusivity is also necessary, given the lower distance between light source and diffuser in a light fixture. The PRIMO® XT N385 3mm with a light transmission of 29% and diffusivity of 0.88 has a low distance factor and is well suited for light fixtures.
Looking for inspiration? Please check our Acrylic community. You can find many applications with light diffusers. There are also many other applications with acrylic on the platform.
Diffusers made from cast acrylic contain less tension than diffusers from extruded acrylic. The Greencast® 72006 is made from cast acrylic and can be fabricated easily.
PyraSied has more than 30 years of experience in fabricating acrylic and other plastics. With our excellently equipped workshop – where high-tech machinery and traditional craftsmanship ensure high quality – we can supply diffusers made to size. Whether you are looking for a partner for a one-time project or a trustworthy partner for the continuous supply of diffusers as part of your supply chain, PyraSied is the right choice.
You can fabricate acrylic yourself, often with the same tools used for wood fabricating. Fabrication options for the Greencast® 72006 diffuser are lasering, sawing, milling, bonding, drilling, faceting, polishing, sanding and printing.
