Taking apart beds and cleaning acrylics.. Tanning bed acrylics are the smooth, transparent surfaces upon which tanners lie, and that separate the body from the actual tanning bed lamps. These acrylics are specially formulated to protect the tanning bed user from heat burns while still allowing effective transmission of ultraviolet rays in order to achieve a tan. They require special cleaning, care, and maintenance. Plexiglas® is another type of common acrylic material, but it is formulated in a different way than tanning bed acrylics. Regular Plexiglas® is not transparent to ultraviolet rays and, thus, would not allow effective tanning. The type of acrylic used in tanning beds is most often formulated from a special type of polymethyl methacrylate, a compound that allows the passage of ultraviolet rays. Like Plexiglas®, the type of acrylic used in tanning beds is shatter-proof. Plexiglas® can be used in place of glass and is often found in aquariums or automobile headlights.
