3mm Bright Green Coloured Acrylic 6T81

A safer, lighter, and more durable alternative to glass, this green 3mm coloured acrylic sheet delivers comparable optical quality with significantly better impact resistance and workability.

With the green colour cast through the full 3mm depth of the sheet, every cut edge and fabricated detail maintains a clean, consistent finish. The high-gloss surface on both faces gives a professional appearance straight from the sheet. Resistant to UV degradation, weathering, and moisture, this material holds its colour and clarity in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

Beyond visual impact, this green 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 nature-inspired interiors, garden centre displays, and eco-branded environments. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The green 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)

Commercial & Architectural

• This green 3mm sheet is commonly specified for shopfront fascias, window displays, and promotional graphics 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 furniture components, shelving inserts, and built-in cabinetry.
• 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 motorcycle windscreens, boat windows, and vehicle glazing. 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 art installations, sculptural work, and mixed-media projects.
