Acrylic Aquarium drop

Many people have visited an institutional aquarium where the exhibits are made predominately with small, rectangular-windowed tanks. Today the public is no longer limited to looking at small tanks.

Large-cast acrylic sheets are now being used to create virtual walls of water. When standing close to these huge acrylic panels, the public starts to experience the feeling of immersion.

There is water when you looked to the left, right, up, and down. People can now be centimeters away from sharks, rays, and eels and the daunting presence of hundreds of thousands or even millions of gallons of water held back by a virtually invisible acrylic panel. The public starts to feel they were actually in the aquarium.

The largest cast monolithic acrylic panel available by Roehm is 6 m x 3.0 m x 200 mm. More recently developed bonding technology allows for even larger panels to be fabricated in situ. One of the largest flat acrylic panel created from a monolithic acrylic sheet is at the Plymouth Aquarium.
