Hello Listers,  I hope everyone is well on this Tuesday afternoon J.   I
have a question about acrylic case fronts and bonnets for cases.  I'm
working with an exhibit designer who insists on installing Lexan on a
case front.  I believe it was explained to me that it was "bullet
proof."  From my experience, it scratches easier than other types of
acrylic.  What is the best material to use?  What is the most scratch
resistant and durable? Is Lexan safe in an artifact environment? Any
words of advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you,

Ava R. Wilkey
