Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean black acrylic sheets?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, which can cause crazing or cracking. For best results, use a plastic polish to maintain the glossy black finish and prevent visible scratches.
Can I use black acrylic outdoors?
Yes, acrylic is naturally UV resistant and performs well outdoors. Black acrylic is particularly durable in outdoor applications and won't fade significantly over time, making it suitable for exterior signage and architectural elements.
What's the difference between cast and extruded acrylic?
Extruded acrylic is more economical and easier to fabricate, making it ideal for thermoforming and general applications. Cast acrylic has better optical clarity and is stronger, but costs more. For most colored applications like black, extruded acrylic performs excellently.
Does black acrylic show scratches easily?
Black acrylic can show scratches and fingerprints more visibly than clear or lighter colors due to the contrast. Handle with care and use protective film during fabrication. Regular cleaning with proper materials and occasional polishing will keep it looking pristine.
