Plexiglas is the (German) R\ufffdhm (und Haas) brand name for PMMA, 
PolyMethylMetaAcrylate. The common brand name in the English speaking 
world was Perspex as coined by ICI, UK, the inventor of that plastic. 
More brand names exist.

For glass etching is a way to achieve non glare, for both glass and PMMA 
the other choice is a coating layer, either on teh outside or on both 
sides.

Colorant fading indoors happens in more ways than by UV light, visible 
light is probably the main cause for framed prints whether behind UV 
cutting glass or normal glass, Other factors are humidity, gas fading 
and the combination of them all. You will find sufficient information at 
the Aardenburg site.
