Handling

• Cotton or nitrile rubber gloves should be worn to minimize finger-prints and other particles.
• Optium Acrylic® products are covered with a protective film masking on each surface. This masking prevents scratching during handling and cutting and should be left in place on the sheet as long as possible.
• To remove the masking, start at one corner and pull towards the opposite side of the sheet slowly and evenly without stopping.
• The masking should never be exposed to excessive sunlight or outdoor conditions for extended periods of time.

Framing Practices for 40”x60” and larger

• To prevent bowing, twisting, and/or warping during framing, provide reinforcing support of the acrylic sheet during framing.

Cleaning

• Place the acrylic on a clean, non-abrasive surface for cleaning.
• Use a clean, soft, lint-free or micro-fiber cloth to clean.
• Do not use coarse or abrasive cleaning agents or dirty cloths.
• Spray an ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth and wipe the acrylic.
• Never spray cleaner directly on the acrylic.
• Do not use an acrylic cleaner on this product.
