Neutralizing Static Electricity (Acrylic Panels)
A static electrical charge can develop on the acrylic panels during handling and
processing. This is not unique to the acrylic panels, but is common to many
materials, particularly plastics.
When the paper or film masking is stripped off the acrylic sheet, a static charge
is created on the sheet surface. Static electricity attracts dust, chips, etc. floating
in the air or on nearby work surfaces and holds these contaminants tightly to
the surface. A compressed air gun will remove some of this surface dirt, but
much of it continues to cling to the sheet.
Several anti-static cleaners for plastics are also available which will reduce static
electricity and dust attraction. Wiping with a soft damp cloth or chamois is all
that is necessary to keep the acrylic panels dust-free between applications of
these cleaners.
