A tanning bed is a very demanding application even for acrylic sheet. The use of tanning lotions and disinfectants can promote the premature development of stress cracks and fractures. This cracking typically continues to increase in severity until the panel needs to be replaced. Replacement, due to stress cracking, generally occurs long before there is any loss of UV light transmission through the acrylic sheet. Therefore, both resistance to chemical attack and UV light transmission must be considered when evaluating the performance of an acrylic sheet for tanning bed applications. While many competitive acrylic sheet products have comparable light transmittance,
