Facts Specifications ANTI-REFLECTIVE ACRYLIC FOR FACE MOUNTING DIRECT PRINTING ABRASION RESISTANT REGULAR ACRYLIC MIL-C-14806A PARA 4.4.7 MIL-M13508C PARA 4.4.5 The coating shows no signs of deterioration other than discoloration after being subjected to 20alcohol soaked cheesecloth test at 2-2.5 lbs. The coating shows no damage after 600 dry cloth rubs at 2.5 lbs. Our coated high-performance glazing products perform like anti-reflective glass and offer up to 20 times the protection against minor scratches compared to uncoated acrylic. The surface resistivity is less than 1012 ohmsq at 50 Relative Humidity. Our anti-static protection actually exceeds that of glass and is engineered to immediately dissipate static charges. Independent tests show that our coated high-performance glazing products are up to 2000 times more anti-static than regular acrylic. Safe for friable materials. Does not attract dust minimizes cleaning. LONG-LASTING ANTI-STATIC PROTECTION 23 C and 50 r.h.

ELECTRICAL SURFACE RESISTIVITY ANTI-STATIC ON VIEWING SIDE ONLY ASTM D257 CUTTING Many distributors offer cut-to-size services which can eliminate this step. Contact your local Piedmont Plastics for cut-to-size availability. If you are cutting the acrylic on your own make sure your cutting surface is clean and clear of debris. Using a multi-material cutter score the sheet multiple times and then apply firm pressure to snap and break. We also recommend leaving the protective film on the sheet while cutting and fabricating. All available gauges can be cut using a router with a router bit specifically designed to cut acrylic. For a list of recommended router bits contact the Tru Vue Helpline at 800-282-8788. CLEANIN

G Do NOT attempt to laser cut TruLife Anti-Reflective Single-Sided Acrylic. Extreme heat may cause crazing which may lead to delamination of the coating. TruLife Anti-Reflective Single-Sided Acrylic cleans easily just like glass. No special acrylic cleaners are needed. Here are some simple cleaning tips to follow Place the acrylic on a surface clear of debris and lint particles. Spot-clean with a dry lint-free or micro-fiber cloth by wiping in a soft circular motion. W hen needed use a non-ammonia glass cleaner or make cleaning solution with 1 part water 1 part isopropyl alcohol. Apply cleaner onto cloth and then wipe. D o NOT use an acrylic cleaner or polishing agent. Do NOT try to hand polish or buff scratches in this product as it may cause damage to the coating. STORAGE Avoid storing in areas where condensation might occur. T he masking should be left on the sheet during storage and fabrication to prevent damage. If the protective film masking has been removed use 2-ply rag board or pH neutral paper for interleaf during storage. Proper interleafing during storage enables reuse. I f the acrylic sheets are stored vertically care must be taken to avoid warping. Sheets must stand with an angle of no more than 10 degrees from the vertical and fully
