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.

First time I ever produced a CAD cut file rather than review and sign off drawings, and it worked first time with Inkscape which I used as suggested rather than LibreCad. Recommended. Three day turnaround and arrived well protected.

M BACON,

Needed a new bath panel cut to the right size - found them online - easy to order and it was shipped v quickly and beautifully wrapped. . Had to get a small issue resolved and it was rectified immediately. I’m only a small diy customer so was very pleased with their service. Would recommend. John

I wanted a board to fit in a specific corner, to create a kind of storage shelf. The board I received was exactly the dimensions I asked for. I could possibly have added a few extra millimeters on, but that's my own fault. Prices are reasonable, the quality is good, and my order was delivered in a timely manner. Would recommend.

I spoke to Charlie and Jamie today, both extremely helpful! We are renovating six houses so it was important to get the cuts/colours right on such a big order. I would definitely recommend this company and use them again.
