Yes, correct. After looking at several sheets of Acrylic I have at work they all have a Plexiglass brand name on them. They seem to be different grades though. Some break easy, some are hard to break, ect.... maybe it depends on the manufacturers process? I guess I have some new questions to ask our supplier next time I need acrylic.....
