For many years we have supplied an anti-static acrylic cleansing
spray product, originally developed by the perspex division of ICI
for use on their own range of acrylic sheeting and for use on other
non absorbent substrates. Primarily a water based solution with a
neutral pH it contains a complex ammonium compound solution with
detergents and preservatives. Application is by way of a slightly
dampened lint free cloth. We will be happy to provide technical data
sheets on request.
