PLEXIGLASS & ACRYLIC CARE

CLEANING

Clean with plenty of nonabrasive soap (or detergent) and luke warm water, using the bare hand to feel and dislodge any caked-on dirt.A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used, but only as a means of carrying the water to the plastic. Dry with a clean damp chamois or clean soft cloth such as cotton flannel. Hard, rough cloths or paper towels will scratch the acrylic and should not be used.

WAXING

If after removing dirt and grease, the acrylic can be waxed with a good grade commercial wax.This will improve the appearance of the surface by filling in most minor scratches. Wax should be applied in a thin even coat and brought to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a dry clean soft cloth, such as a cotton flannel. Excessive rubbing may cause scratching and/or buildup an electrostatic charge which attracts dust and dirt to the surface. Blotting with a clean damp cloth is recommended to remove charge.

Rev.0309

ANTISTATIC COATINGS

For acrylic used indoors, antistatic coatings successfully prevent the accumulation of an electrostatic charge for periods of several months—if the surface is not washed or wiped down with a wet cloth. Between applications of the antistatic coatings, the parts need only be dusted with a soft clean cloth to maintain a good appearance. In use, liquid antistatic coatings should be applied in a very thin even coat. If beads appear as it is applied, the coat is too thick and the excess should be removed with another cloth. Allow the coating to dry, then bring to a high gloss with a soft cloth.
