Technical Information
 
How to Clean Acrylic Sheet?
The best method for cleaning acrylic Perspex sheets is by washing with a solution of luke warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, using a soft cloth to loosen any dirt and grime. Then, rinse with cold water and dry with a very soft cloth to prevent water spotting. You should not use chemicals, glass spray, or other abrasive cleaning materials, nor should you use any form of scraper or squeegee or other sharp instruments.

Can I use acrylic sheet as a splashback?
Many of our customers have used our range of acrylic colours to make modern splashbacks for kitchen areas. We can cut acrylic sheets to almost any custom size - and we can also include cut-outs for sockets if required (we just need a drawing from you showing dimensions). To discuss your project in more detail, please contact us

Can I use acrylic sheet in the bathroom?
Acrylic sheets can certainly be used in bathrooms. Depending on your wall surface, you may need to pre-mount your PERSPEX sheet to a board (eg MDF) prior to fixing to achieve a sound, flat finish

Does acrylic sheet have a fire rating?
Cast acrylic sheet achieves a UK Class 3 fire rating.

Does acrylic go yellow after a period of time?
Acrylic actually carries a 10 year guarantee against discolouration, if you have some plastic in your shed or greenhouse that as gone brittle and yellow, this is not acrylic this will be a product called which is a cheap and non uv stable product.

What cutting tools can be used on Acrylic Sheet?
To achieve a good finish all cutting tools must be kept sharp. Most hand tools designed for use with wood or soft metals are suitable for use with acrylic except laminate cutters, guillotines and blanking dies. Most power tools can be used and HSS tools bits are suitable to achieve a good cut finish. For lengthy runs, tungsten carbide tipped blades and tool bits are recommended for long life.

What types of saws are recommended for cutting?
For small jobs fine-toothed hand saws such as fret saws or hack saws are recommended. The work must be securely fixed and only light pressure applied. Powered saws with blades having alternative teeth beveled, as for aluminium, are particularly recommended for sawing acrylic as are band saws, jig saws and fret saws.

What is recommended when drilling holes in acrylic sheets?
Standard woodworking twist drills can be used for all normal drilling work with perspex acrylic. Whenever possible, the work should be supported by a back stop made from either scrap acrylic or hard wood to prevent splintering the exit hole. Under no circumstances should a centre punch be used before drilling. A small pilot hole should be drilled first to locate the drill. Coolants are strongly recommended for any deep drilling into acrylic and time must be allowed to remove swarf from the drill at regular intervals.
Alternatively, we can do the drilling for you.

What can you use to bond acrylic onto acrylic?
Tensol 12 is a single component cement which hardens due to solvent evaporation to produce a clear bond in cast acrylic sheets. Tensol 12 is only recommended for internal signage and low strength bonds. Tensol 70 is a two part catalyst cement which cures at ambient temperatures to produce high strength bonds to acrylic sheet and offers excellent weathering resistance. You can purchase both tensol adhesives from us. To discuss your application to make sure the right adhesive is being used email us on info@sheetplastics.co.uk
