Does cast acrylic scratch easily?

Cast acrylic does scratch more easily than other materials such as glass or polycarbonate. However, its level of scratch resistance generally depends on the quality and thickness of the acrylic.

Low-quality or thin cast acrylic sheets are more prone to scratches and may show visible marks even with light abrasion. On the other hand, high-quality and thicker acrylic sheets tend to be more durable and offer better scratch resistance.

To minimize the likelihood of scratches on cast acrylic, it is important to handle and clean it properly. Avoid using rough or abrasive materials to clean the surface, as these can cause scratches. Instead, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap or specialized acrylic cleaner.

It is also recommended to avoid dragging or sliding objects on the acrylic surface, as this can cause scratching. Using protective covers or mats can help prevent scratches when placing objects on top of the acrylic.

In cases where scratches do occur, minor scratches can often be polished out. There are acrylic polish kits available that can help restore the surface to its original smoothness. However, deeper scratches may require professional repair or replacement of the affected part.

Overall, while cast acrylic does have a tendency to scratch easily, taking proper care and using preventive measures can help maintain its appearance and durability.
