Chemical Resistance

Acrycast generally has a good resistance to water, alkaline agents, aqueous solutions of inorganic matter and even some diluted acids. Acrycast will absorb small amounts of water – this is not an issue unless you are then heating and forming the product as the quick release of the moisture can cause blistering. It is important that you store Acrycast according to the specified conditions (see general information section).

Please find below a table showing a list of chemicals that Acrycast has been tested against – clearly these tests have been done in the laboratory in controlled conditions and any minor variation can cause a change in the results. Therefore to ensure compatibility please test the products prior to production.

Key

0 = Not resistant – it dissolves, attacks, damaged the Acrycast so it loses its strength, clarity etc.

5 = Partial Resistance – there might be some slight staining, crazing or some swelling of the Acrycast. It will however retain its integral strength.

10 = Resistant – after sustained contact there may be a minimal amount of staining on the surface of the Acrycast.

I placed an order and accidentally chose the wrong delivery option. I sent a message to MyCut, and they amended my order quickly and with no fuss at all. The service was excellent, and I’m really happy with both the product and the way everything was handled. Highly recommend!

Accurate cutting. Prompt delivery. Good product.

Steven Cartwright ,

Very good perspex. Easy to order. The only downside is I am unable to remove the cellophane backing no matter how hard I try.

Sometimes it's when things go wrong that you get to know what a company is like and this was one of those times. After an initial holdup of my order I contacted customer services and Abigail was on it. She kept me updated daily, and when the order was delivered and damaged by the courier, she made sure a replacement was sent out quickly.

Great ordering process and fast delivery with good protective packaging. I ordered high quality and quite expensive Baltic Birch and was slightly disappointed that extensive and large 'knotting' type markings were present on one side. I appreciate it is/was a natural wooden product but to have this on a premium product I would have preferred a better selection process for such a small sized sheet. Otherwise faultless!!

Mr Brian McCarthy,

When ordered all delivered on time and all cut to right size.

Mr B Bohea,

Fast efficient service

David Mines,

Very happy with the company, was a bit of a gamble but has worked really well for replacing a broken panel

Easy website to navigate, good pricing, excellent communication and prompt delivery. I am giving five stars because even though there was an error with one part of my order it was rectified easily, without stress, recut and delivered in just a few days. Their customer service is exemplary.

Steve Jiggins,

Everything came back perfect as per my specifications.. Delivery spot on and and extremely well packaged.. Next time I put a stone through my greenhouse glass I will be back!!

Gary Watts,

I order the MDF panels for my hallway panelling. The wood was delivered quickly and was so easy to use and was so much cheaper then the high street brands.

Jess Stevens,

Great service quick delivery good pricing will use again
