Cleaning
Plexiglas® acrylic sheet and
the
Chemical Resistance
of Plexiglas® acrylic sheet to various chemicals.

PLEXIGLAS® SHEET: Handling and Maintenance
guidelines:
https://www.plexiglas.com/export/sites/plexiglas/.content/medias/downloads/plexiglas-expert-
pdf/Fabrication-Guidelines-Plexiglas-Handling-and-Maintenance.pdf
Wash Plexiglas® sheet with a mild soap or detergent and a lukewarm water solution. Use a clean
soft cloth or sponge and as much solution as possible. Rinse well. Dry by blotting with a damp
cloth or chamois.
Plexiglas® acrylic sheets have excellent
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
to ammonia based and
chlorine based cleaners under ambient conditions for relatively short durations. Do not use
cleaners that contain alcohol. The chemical resistance of Plexiglas® acrylic sheet will vary with
the stress level, temperature, reagent, duration of exposure and specific Plexiglas® acrylic sheet
used in the application. Altuglas International recommends that parts made from Plexiglas®
acrylic sheets be tested with all reagents under appropriate conditions for the end-use application.
Differences between
Cleaning
and
Disinfecting
a surface

.
Cleaning
refers to the removal of germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. Cleaning does not kill
germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.
Disinfecting
refers to using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily
clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can
further lower the risk of spreading infection.
