This article explores the advantages and maintenance methods of acrylic braille signs.

Advantages of Acrylic Braille Signs

Acrylic, also known as PMMA or organic glass, is an important early-developing, highly plastic polymer material with excellent transparency, chemical stability, and weather resistance, easy to dye, easy to process, and beautiful appearance.

Tactile Aspect

With unique material, strong visual impact, as a braille sign, the information to be conveyed must be perceived by blind or visually impaired individuals. A good tactile effect allows them to notice the information here as soon as possible.

Weather Resistance Aspect

Long-lasting color retention. High-quality acrylic boards can last for 8-10 years. Instead of replacing braille signs every two to three years, why not choose the best material the first time? This can help save costs and reduce maintenance time.

Light Transmission Aspect

With a light transmittance of up to 92%, excellent light and soft vision. Good light transmission performance also reduces light sources, saves energy, and reduces costs.

Aesthetic Aspect

Exquisite craftsmanship, mirror effect, no wrinkles, no seams. For public places, aesthetics are very important. A beautiful appearance can bring about a better information transmission effect.

Process Performance Aspect

Acrylic boards have good printing and spraying properties. With appropriate printing and spraying processes, acrylic braille signs can achieve ideal surface decoration effects.

Acrylic Braille Sign Maintenance Methods

Although acrylic signs are highly weather-resistant, regular maintenance and cleaning during daily use are also necessary to extend the service life of acrylic braille signs.

Cleaning

If acrylic products are not specially treated or reinforced with resistant agents, they are easily affected by wear and scratches. For general dust treatment, use a feather duster or rinse with water, then wipe with a soft cloth.

Waxing

To make the braille signs shiny, use liquid polish wax. Wipe evenly with a soft cloth to achieve the desired effect.

Adhesion

If the braille sign is accidentally damaged, use adhesive glue/bonding agent or fast-drying agent to fix it.

Polishing

If the product is scratched or the surface is not severely worn, a polishing machine (or car waxing machine) can be used with a cloth wheel and some liquid polish wax, evenly polishing the surface to improve its condition.
