- Features and Benefits
Abrasion resistant, mar resistant, durable surface - The Mar-Con 600 surface is significantly more abrasion resistant than the base plastic, reduces risk of damage to the sheet surfaces from frequent cleaning and handling.
Superior chemical and solvent resistance - Reduces risk of solvent or chemical damage to the sheet surfaces.
Excellent optical properties - High clarity, high gloss coating maintains optimum light transmission without distortion.
Graffiti Resistance - Easy to clean hydrophobic surface
Superior fabrication characteristics - Results in optimum workability during part fabrication.

- Applications
Mar-Con® 600 Acrylic is designed to be used where there is concern about marring and abrasion of the surfaces of the plastic sheet from handling and other moderate abuse. It is also designed for applications requiring improved splash and wipe down resistance to many common chemicals and solvents which would normally damage the acrylic sheet surfaces. Mar-Con 600’s hydrophobic surface is resistant to graffiti and can be immediately cleaned if defaced. Typical applications for Mar-Con® 600 Acrylic include applications such as: boxes, displays, display cases, and protective screens. It can also be used for exterior glazing, partitions, enclosures, doors, access panels, and inspection windows when exterior longevity is critical.
- Fabrication
Mar-Con® 600 Acrylic is easily fabricated into flat surface configurations using the same equipment and fabrication techniques generally employed with uncoated acrylic sheet products. For applications requiring heat formed or bent configurations, plastic substrates with SciCron Technologies Forming Grade Mar-Con® 551 coating are recommended. Note: When solvent welding, it is necessary to remove the coated surfaces mechanically to achieve a good bond.
- Cleaning
The Mar-Con 600 surface can be cleaned with a variety of common cleaners (see reverse side for specific recommendations). Care should be taken to avoid the use of any cleaner or cleaning solution which contains an abrasive. In addition, all wipes, sponges and drying towels should be clean and free of any grit which could damage the surface.
- Cleaning and Graffiti Removal
Solvents and Cleaning Liquids Found Effective Under Laboratory Conditions
Aqueous solutions of the following can be applied carefully with a soft cloth or sponge for ordinary dirt and grime.Joy® Windex® Formula 409® Sparkle™ Rinse with clean water before drying with a chamois or cellulose sponge.
Never use an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad.
The following solvents, in addition to the above cleaners, can be used to remove graffiti and other stubborn stains.
Isopropyl Alcohol-Methanol
Naphtha (VM&P Grade)-Kerosene
Butyl Cellosolve (for paints, inks, lipstick, etc.)
Always remove residual solvent with an aqueous cleaner and a final rinse with clean water.

Packaging & Availability
- Availability
Mar-Con® 600 Acrylic, in cell cast type, is available in clear and a variety of standard transparent colors. White translucent and colored opaque grades are also available. Continuously cast and extruded types are available in some sizes and thicknesses upon request.
Note: Cell cast is a premium form of acrylic plastic, but it has a wider thickness variation than other acrylic types. Therefore, continuously cast or extruded material should be specified if a narrow thickness tolerance range is required.
Standard Dimensions (Nominal) Thickness: 3mm (1/8”), 4.5mm (3/16”), 6mm (1/4”), 9mm (3/8”), 12mm (1/2”) - Note: 9mm and 12mm - cell cast only.
Standard Sheet Size: 48” x 96”
Other sizes and thicknesses, including oversize sheets, available upon request.
