Cleaning Recommendations forPlexiglas® Acrylic Sheet
Altuglas International routinely provides information on CleaningPlexiglas®acrylic sheet and
the Chemical Resistance of Plexiglas®acrylic sheet to various chemicals. Altuglas
International does not provide any recommendation regarding disinfecting Plexiglas®
acrylic sheet.
Altuglas International recommends to CLEAN Plexiglas®acrylic sheet using soap and water.
Here is a link to our 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 containalcohol. 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 Disinfectinga surface1.
Cleaningrefers 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.
Disinfectingrefers 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.
