3mm Capri Blue Coloured Acrylic 727

The vibrant blue hue adds character and visual interest to any installation. This 3mm coloured acrylic sheet is UV-stable, weather-resistant, and built to perform in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Manufactured as a cast acrylic, this blue sheet offers superior optical qualities and machining characteristics compared to extruded alternatives. The colour runs through the full 3mm thickness — meaning laser-cut edges, drilled holes, and routed profiles all maintain the same consistent blue tone. UV-resistant properties protect against discolouration from prolonged sun exposure.

Beyond visual impact, this blue acrylic is practical to work with — it cuts cleanly with standard workshop tools, lasers, and CNC machines, and can be heated and bent into curved shapes for bespoke installations. The 3mm gauge suits corporate branding, office partitions, and professional reception areas. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The blue pigment runs through the full 3mm thickness — cut edges display the same colour as the surface.
• Surface finish: High-gloss polish on both faces for a professional appearance without post-processing.
• UV stability: Resistant to yellowing and colour fade from prolonged UV exposure.

Mechanical Properties

• Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass. Fractures into dull-edged pieces rather than dangerous shards.
• Weight: Approximately half the weight of equivalent glass — easier to transport, handle, and install.
• Weather resistance: Performs well outdoors without warping, cracking, or degrading.

Workability

• Machinable: Can be cut, drilled, routed, and polished. Compatible with laser cutting and CNC routing.
• Thermoformable: Can be heated and bent for curved components using a strip heater or oven.
• Bondable: Joins cleanly with solvent-based acrylic adhesives (Tensol, Extru-Fix).

Specification

• Material: Cast acrylic (PMMA)
• Thickness: 3mm

Commercial & Architectural

• This blue 3mm sheet is commonly specified for wayfinding signage, directional boards, and information panels in corporate, educational, and healthcare environments where colour-coded or branded materials are required.
• Illuminated panels, lightboxes, and backlit displays use coloured acrylic for even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Interior Design

• For interior applications, it suits kitchen splashbacks, bathroom panels, and decorative wall features.
• Splashback panels in kitchens and bathrooms provide a hygienic, waterproof surface that is straightforward to maintain.

Glazing & Screening

• A shatterproof, weather-resistant alternative to glass for secondary glazing, greenhouse panels, and skylight installations. Up to 17 times more impact-resistant at approximately half the weight.

Craft & Fabrication

• Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Widely used for model making, prototyping, and precision-fabricated components.
