What is acrylic, and why choose it over glass?
Acrylic is a lightweight, optically clear plastic (PMMA) that offers the look of glass at a fraction of the weight—and without the risk of shattering. It transmits more light than glass, resists impact, and can be cut, formed, and finished into virtually any shape, making it ideal for displays, signage, awards, and custom products.
How does acrylic compare to other plastics like polycarbonate?
Acrylic offers superior clarity and a higher-quality surface finish, holds up better to scratching, and machines and polishes beautifully. Polycarbonate is more impact-resistant but less clear and more prone to scratching. For most display, retail, and presentation applications where appearance matters, acrylic is the stronger choice.
Is acrylic durable?
Yes. Acrylic is far more impact-resistant than glass and stands up well to everyday handling. With proper care, acrylic products maintain their clarity and finish for years, which is why it's trusted across demanding environments.
Is acrylic safe?
Yes. Acrylic is a stable, non-toxic material that does not contain BPA, unlike some other clear plastics.
How do I care of my acrylic?
Acrylic is easy to maintain with a little care. Clean it with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap and water, or a cleaner made specifically for acrylic. Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners like Windex, along with abrasive pads and paper towels, as these can cloud or scratch the surface over time. Always wipe gently rather than scrubbing, and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Handled this way, acrylic keeps its clarity and finish for years.
