- 7. product data sheet R-Cast™ sheet Manufacturing R-Cast™ Sheet is monolithically cast polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). R-Cast™ Sheet is manufactured to meet strict internationally accepted structural standards. Short Term Loading Impact, live, and seismic loading conditions are short term and infrequent conditions. All R-Cast™ Sheet panels can be designed to handle these conditions. Safety Glazing Meets ANSI Z 97.1 for safety glazing material used in buildings. Approved for safety glazing according to model building codes. Suitable for use in Consumer Products Safety Commission, Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Material under 16 CFR 1201, Categories 1 & 11. Hockey Rink Glazing R-Cast™ Sheet is suitable for use as a glazing material for hockey rinks per ASTM F-1703 (Standard Guide for Ice Hockey Playing Facilities). Thickness should be 0.50" (12.7mm) for sides of rink, 0.625" (15.88mm) for ends of rink. FDA Approval R-Cast™ Sheet is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as a surface suitable for food preparation.
