FAQs

• Is Matte Metallic Recycled Acrylic good for laser cutting? Yes, it’s ideal for CO2 laser cutting, producing clean, glossy edges with minimal power (check your laser owner manual for settings).

• Can I use a diode laser with this acrylic? Diode lasers can engrave with a frosted finish but may require multiple passes to cut 3mm sheets; CO2 lasers are recommended for cutting.

• Can I glue this acrylic? Yes, it’s compatible with acrylic adhesives; remove protective film after fabrication for best results.

• How do I clean matte metallic acrylic? Use a mild soap solution or plastic cleaner with a lint-free cloth. Avoid alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners to prevent damage.
