Does PLEXIGLAS form a lot of smoke when it burns?
No, as compared with many other plastics, and especially with several types of wood and other natural materials, PLEXIGLAS develops almost no smoke. Here too, the type of combustion plays a crucial role the more complete combustion is, the less smoke is generated. Tests similar to DIN 4102 and tests for fire rating in Euroclass E according to DIN 13501 confirm the low smoke level. The stringent test regulations of the Swiss fire police, for example, rate PLEXIGLAS as a material with low smoke formation.
