Acrylic is a little easier to scratch than plain glass, but not much. (Polycarbonate, which might be mistaken for acrylic out in the world, is very easy to scratch.)
- detritus 5y agoI work with acrylic every day and I'm telling you - it scratches a helluva lot easier than plain glass. You can practically just show it something with a higher shore rating and it'll scratch itself... .
- silisili 5y agoIn terms of Mohs hardness, acrylic is around 3 and glass closer to 6. This means, in theory, things like a coin or razor knife could scratch acrylic, but not glass. How this hybrid behaves though, I'd have no idea.
