This property will change with thickness. The value given is for the thickness indicated in the column heading unless otherwise noted. Water absorption samples conditioned for 24 hours at 50C. Flammability tests are small scale tests and may not be indicative of how materials will perform in an actual situation. Reported for thicknesses 0.500. Plexiglas acrylic plastic is a combustible thermoplastic. Observe fire precautions appropriate for comparable forms of wood and paper. For building uses check code approvals. Impact resistance is a factor of thickness. Avoid exposure to heat or aromatic solvents. Clean with soap and water. Avoid abrasives. See MSDS for Health Safety Considerations.
