Acrylic sheet is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. It is resistant to water, aqueos salt solutions, alkalis and most dilute acids. It is also resistant to most detergents and common household substances, but it is however attacked by most organic solvents. It is a good thermal insulator whilst being tough and durable.
A range of coloured or tinted acrylic is available on flat sheet. Round rod and tube are available in clear.
Acrylic can be heat bent and polished following cutting and machining.
