Commemorating 75 years of Plexiglas® Acrylic Innovation

Plexiglas® acrylic innovation has inspired designers and engineers in developing everything from automobiles and airplanes to office buildings and consumer goods since 1933. In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of this premium brand of acrylic, Jack Reilly, R&D Manager, and Gary Hall, Senior Staff Technician, of Altuglas International recently presented this icon, “Plexiglas® King of G Cell Cast Acrylic Sheet,” to Patrick Shea, Senior Archivist, of the Chemical Heritage Foundation. The icon, developed to promote Plexiglas® G cell cast acrylic sheet at a national sign industry exposition in 1970, will now be permanently housed at CHF headquarters in Philadelphia, which is adjacent to Independence National Historic Park. Scheduled to open this fall, a new museum at CHF will maintain a world-class collection of materials that document the history and heritage of the chemical sciences and technologies.

For more information on the rich history of Plexiglas® acrylic sheet and resin innovation – from aircraft canopies in WWII to today’s technologies – an interactive timeline may be viewed at www.plexiglas.com/history.
