What is Acrylic Sheets
Abrasion resistant acrylic sheet is stronger than glass but weighs half as much as glass, it is a continuously manufactured acrylic sheet which was covered with clear abrasion resistant coating on one (AR1) or both (AR2) sides, gives it high impact strength with abrasion and chemical resistant with non-glare properties for easy viewing, offering 40 times greater resistance to marring and chemical attack than uncoated acrylic sheet.

Types of Acrylic Sheets
Abrasion Resistant Acrylic Sheeting
Enhances the resistance to abrasion of standard acrylic sheets by employing a reinforced coating invulnerable to scratching and scraping. The abrasion resistant acrylic material is also impervious to corrosive chemicals such as basic and acidic solutions.
Anti-Static Acrylic Sheeting
Employing this acrylic sheeting is necessary where there’s danger of electrostatic discharge that can cause latent damage to electrical appliances. This acrylic sheeting type utilizes a transparent coating which prevents surface static charge development.
Clear Acrylic Sheeting
Most acrylic sheets are clear with high flexibility allowing their production in various sizes. Clear acrylic sheetings can come in thicknesses ranging anywhere from 40 mils to four inches and length and bread measurements in feet.
Colored Acrylic Sheeting
While essentially a basic acrylic sheeting, this type is available in different colours making it a worthy replacement for conventional glass.
Product features of Acrylic Sheets
1. Excellent optical clarity & transparency.
2. Highly resistant to variations in temperature.
3. Up to 17 times the impact resistance of ordinary glass.
4. Half the weight of glass and ideal for precision machining.
5. Highly resistant to many different chemicals.
Material of Acrylic Sheets
First of all, acrylic is formed using chemical reactions between compounds like methyl methacrylate, acetone, and sodium cyanide. Acrylic sheet may be formed via three methods: extruded, cast, or continuous cast.
Process of Acrylic Sheets
Acrylic sheets using a process known as bulk polymerization, the monomer (methyl methacrylate) and the catalyst (typically organic peroxide) are poured into a mold, which is sealed and heated to produce the reaction that forms the acrylic plastic polymer. The molded acrylic sheets are then cured. Thinner acrylic sheets can be cured in 10 to 12 hours, but thicker sheets may require several days of cure time. The molds are then cooled, opened, and the resulting acrylic plastic sheets are either immediately used or further processed to improve the overall quality of the final product.
How To Maintain Acrylic Sheets
Washing
Washing acrylic sheets using common household products is easy. All you need is soft microfiber cloth, tepid water, and mild dishwashing soap. Rinse the cloth in the water and dishwashing soap mixture, ring it out, and gently blot the acrylic sheet with it. Use a dry soft cloth or paper towel to dry the sheet in a gentle circular motion.
Dusting
Use a soft damp cloth or modern fake feather duster when dusting acrylic sheets. Dust as often as needed. Avoid using a dry abrasive cloth as this will scratch the surface and create an electrostatic charge that results in attracting more dirt and dust.
Neutralizing static electricity
Sometimes, the shipping process can result in an electrostatic charge due to the movement of the vehicle. Companies use ionizing air guns to temporarily disable or neutralize electrostatic charges.
Removing scratches
Polishing acrylic sheets by hand is by far the most effective way to remove hairline scratches. You can use a scratch remover in the form of a soft flannel pad. Rub the plastic remover along where the scratch is in a gentle circular motion without applying too much pressure. Wipe off all the residue and then polish the acrylic sheet.
How to Choose Acrylic Board
Thickness
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing acrylic sheets is the sheet's thickness. Since the thickness of the sheet will affect its strength and longevity, it is important to determine the precise thickness required to fulfill your needs. A micrometer or gauge is useful for measuring acrylic sheet's thickness. While the thickness of the acrylic sheet is not the only factor determining its quality, high-quality sheets often have a greater thickness and provide improved surface hardness and scratch resistance capabilities.
Light Transmittance
The quality of acrylic sheets is determined by the amount of light that can pass through them and their colour. When white light hits on acrylic sheets of poor quality, the refracted ray may be yellow or blue. In contrast, acrylic sheets of high quality will have a refracted ray that is pure white and have a superior transmittance to low-quality acrylic sheets. If you want the highest possible quality, go for an acrylic sheet with a refracted beam of brilliant white light. In addition, acrylic sheet UAE manufacturers can provide samples and completed products so you can evaluate multiple products side by side.
Quality Comparison
Although there are numerous sources for acrylic sheets in the United Arab Emirates, it is important to evaluate quality before making a choice. You can evaluate the quality of various acrylic sheets by considering factors such as colour, surface hardness, and resistance to scratches. You can make an educated choice by requesting samples and completed products from manufacturers of acrylic sheets who are authorized to do so and can provide you with both.
Baking Test
High-quality acrylic sheets pass the baking test because they can be removed from their adhesive bonds. To evaluate the quality of an acrylic sheet, you can put it through the baking process. Acrylic sheets of poor quality are prone to crazing and breaking easily, and their adaptability to paint and ink is limited and has a short lifespan.The decision to purchase acrylic sheets might be difficult; however, by considering thickness, light transmittance, quality comparison, and baking tests, you can make a more intelligent decision.
Cutting Acrylic Using a Knife
If you do not have any power tools like a power saw or laser cutting machine, then you can use a utility knife to cut an acrylic sheet. Usually, a knife is used to cut small pieces of acrylic, but you can also cut large sheets; however, it will take some time and laborious effort. This method is only suitable if you want to make straight cuts. For any intricate design, a jigsaw or laser machine is the only way.
Cutting Acrylic Using a Saw
A power tool is a better option if you want to cut an acrylic sheet. It will save time and cut pieces with perfection. There are multiple power tools available, and you might get confused about which saw is better for cutting acrylic. You can use a circular saw, jigsaw, or table saw. All of them can make straight cuts, but circular saw and table saw are better in this case. For intricate cuts, curves, and designs, the only option is a jigsaw. It can be moved in any direction and cut the acrylic sheet in the desired shape. Thus, depending on the design, you pick the right saw.
Cutting Acrylic Using a Router
There are two types of routers available on the market. One is the table router, and the other is a handheld router. You can use any of them. For cutting sheets into pieces, a table router is a better option, and for making intricate designs in the middle of the sheet, you can use a handheld router.Both these machines are easy to use, but you need to handle the handheld router firmly. Make sure to use the right and sharp router bit for acrylic cutting. Sharp bits do not put any stress on the material and prevent cracks.
Cutting Acrylic Using a Laser Cutter
A laser cutting machine is much better than any power tool or hand tool for cutting acrylic because it does not make any physical contact with the material and offers an impeccable finish. It is a quick and safe option for DIY enthusiasts, beginners, and even professionals.Using a laser cutting machine, you can cut acrylic in any shape or pattern. However, the size of the sheet depends on the size of the laser machine you are using. Usually, desktop laser machines have a limited size, so they can only cut small and medium acrylic sheets. If you have a large sheet, you need to cut the sheet into small pieces using any tool and then use the laser to cut intricate designs.
