3mm Silver Coloured Acrylic 9YY1

This silver 3mm metallic acrylic sheet delivers a convincing metal-like lustre with all the fabrication advantages of cast acrylic. The reflective silver surface catches and distributes light for a rich, premium appearance suited to high-end signage and interior applications.

Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass and roughly half the weight, metallic acrylic is a practical, durable material for both interior and exterior installations. The UV-stable metallic finish resists colour shift and degradation, maintaining its lustre over extended service life. Both faces carry a high-quality finish for a professional appearance straight from the sheet.

Widely used for premium brand signage, laser-cut lettering, corporate reception panels, awards, trophies, and decorative furniture components. The silver metallic surface adds a distinguished quality to retail displays, exhibition stands, and architectural feature panels. Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Supplied with protective film and available cut to size.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The silver 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.
