ACRYLIC
Acrylic is molded plastic with great clarity and transparency, and is a good substitute for glass, as it is shatterproof. However, Acrylic will crack or break if dropped! Acrylic glassware will not yellow, and the colors are weather and sunlight resistant; acrylic drinkware resists most chemicals found in normal use. Some of the better-known brands of acrylic plastic are Plexiglass and Lucite. Acrylic glasses are BPA-Free.
Acrylic Care:
- Acrylic plastic glasses and drinkware are NOT dishwasher-safe. Other companies may claim that acrylic glassware can be cleaned in the dishwasher, but this is incorrect. Dishwasher cleaning agents and heat will quickly cause acrylic plastic glassware to "craze" (develop fine lines or hairline cracks) and leak.
- Hand washing is the only way to clean acrylic products; again, dishwasher rinse agents and heat will cause quickly cause acrylic glasses to crack and craze (develop hairline cracks).
- Microwave: Acrylic plastic glassware is not recommended for microwave use.
- To safely remove sticker residue: Please use an oil-based lubricant such as WD-40 (or any other oil-based brand), or liquid vegetable oils such as Wesson. Don’t use Goo-Gone, nail polish remover or turpentine, as these will damage acrylic.
