Boats and yachts are often equipped with plastic panes. Acrylic glass and polycarbonate are used in particular. These plastics, although slightly different in detail, have in common that they are particularly resistant, unbreakable and light.
Durability of acrylic glass panes for boats and ships
boat washers off acrylic are resilient – but not indefinitely. In particular, strong and long UV radiation (Mediterranean) attacks the plastic. The discs, on the other hand, are extremely unbreakable and impact-resistant.
The plastic reacts sensitively to some cleaning agents. Care should be taken when cleaning with cloths and rags. Sand on the pane can quickly draw streaks into the pane. It is better to rinse with water and clean without contact
