Per Wikipedia: "Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) poly(methyl 2-methylpropenoate) is a thermoplastic and transparent plastic. Chemically, it is the synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate. It is sold by the trade names Plexiglas, Vitroflex, Limacryl, R-Cast, Per-Clax, Perspex, Plazcryl, Acrylex, Acrylite, Acrylplast, Altuglas, Polycast, Oroglass, Optix and Lucite and is commonly called acrylic glass, simply acrylic, perspex or plexiglas. Acrylic, or acrylic fiber, can also refer to polymers or copolymers containing polyacrylonitrile. The material was developed in 1928 in various laboratories and was brought to market in 1933 by Rohm and Haas Company." This is not the same as Lexan, which is far more rigid and impact resistant ... for instance, retrofit of automobile glass (race cars: shatterproofing, weight reduction) would call for Lexan rather than Plexiglas.

Most plexiglass does scratch, acrylic plexiglass can resist scratches better then most types but will still get them.
Yes. Plexiglass is a plastic, whereas glass is comprised mainly of silicas. Glass is about twice as dense as plexiglass, so a sheet of plexiglass is lighter than a sheet of glass the same size.
My acrylic cracked on my tanning bed can I replace it with plexiglass?
Absolutely. You should be perfectly safe if you walk into a war zone wearing nothing but plexiglass.
Plexiglass is a hardened form of plastic that is used as a cheaper source for glass. Plexiglass is stronger because it tends to bend on impact instead of shatter like glass.
To cut plexiglass you should use a handsaw and make sure it is a handsaw that can cut in straight lines. You should also measure out how you much you need and what shape you need.
Plexiglass
If the plexiglass is fitted as view windows then turn glass clips are the simple way to install. If the frame is going up against a plexiglass window then using making the frame stand alone and sealing it to the plexiglass with silicon caulking would be the most cost efficient.
