Optium Acrylic® (anti-reflective)

Optium Acrylic® is a lightweight, anti-reflective, anti-static, clear-coated acrylic that provides greater security than traditional glazing.

Optium Acrylic® products are manufactured utilizing a clear, hard-coated abrasion-resistant acrylic sheet. A magnetron sputtered thin film multi-layered anti-reflection coating is applied to both sides of the acrylic sheet using a patented Tru Vue® Optium® technology. The coating is engineered for demanding optical requirements, durability, and strength.

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.
