Cleaning & Handling of Acrylic Display Products
When caring for acrylic accessories, it’s crucial to avoid using incorrect cleaners, as they can cause harm. Never use cleaners containing ammonia, glass cleaners, or furniture polish such as Fantastik, Tilex, Windex, or Clorox, as they can damage your acrylic. Instead, use mild soap and water or products specifically recommended for cleaning acrylic, such as Novus or other Rated Anti-Static Cleaner and Polish for Plastics. When cleaning, use micro-fiber disposable low lint cloths designed for acrylic and other plastics, and avoid using a dry cloth or your hand. Using the wrong cleaner can lead to immediate or delayed damage, weakening structural joints and causing cracking. During installation, handle acrylic with care to prevent cracking.
Product Limitations
Acrylic is not as rigid as glass or metals. Large, flat acrylic sheets, if insufficiently supported, may deform permanently due to continuous loads or even their own weight. Acrylic sheet can be used at temperatures from -30°F (-34°C) up to +190°F (+88°C), depending on the application. It is recommended that temperatures not exceed 160°F (71°C) for continuous service, or 190°F (88°C) for short, intermittent use. Components should not be exposed to high heat sources such as high wattage incandescent lamps, unless the finished product is ventilated to permit the dissipation of heat. Acrylic sheet is a combustible thermoplastic. Precautions should be taken to protect this material from flames and high heat sources.
