It acrylic or pespex and its edges glow if you apply light to the other side.

I know standard clear persex does this to a certain extent but this stuff does it more - I just can't remember the name!

Cheers,

I need to check at work Monday- we just engraved two 3/4" thick 4'x8' panels for edge lighting- looks like floating neon...
