Care of Acrylic
This list does not include all possible chemical incompatibilities and safe compounds.
Owl’s acrylic products should be cleaned with warm water, a mild detergent such as
Alconox™, and can also be exposed to a mild bleach solution (10:1). In addition, RNAse
removal products are also safe for acrylic. Please contact Owl’s Technical Service at
1-800-242-5560 with any questions.
The following chemical compatibility chart is supplied for the convenience of our custom-
ers. Although acrylic is compatible with most solvents and solutions found in the biochemi-
cal laboratory, some solvents can cause substantial damage. Keep this chart handy to avoid
harm to your apparatus by the use of an inappropriate solvent.
Codes:
S –Safe (No effect, except possibly some staining)
A –Attacked (Slight attack by, or absorption of, the liquid)
(Slight crazing or swelling, but acrylic has retained most of its strength)
U –Unsatisfactory (Softened, swollen, slowly dissolved)
D –Dissolved (In seven days, or less)
