Hi guys

We typically use polyproylene (PP) sheet for moulds for ducts, floors etc and other aero parts on the racecars - we have various line benders and forming tools to form the PP to the shapes required, and it obviously releases well with no release agents and gives a great surface finish. 

My question is, will acylic sheet behave the same in terms of release behaviour for epoxy? Our PP supplier is struggling to get the material in and we can get acrylic very locally at a good price. The acrylic material is also stiffer so would not need as much reinforcement as the PP which also helps, and is a little more scatch resistant. We can  obviously give it a try but figured it would be easier to ask on here first in case someone tried using acrylic sheet before.

Thanks
