3mm Platinum Coloured Acrylic 9PY2
From £0.26
Pearlescent platinum 3mm acrylic sheet with an iridescent colour-shift effect that changes with viewing angle. Premium cast PMMA — suited to luxury signage, jewellery displays, awards, and creative fabrication (shade 9PY2).
Product description
This platinum 3mm pearlescent acrylic sheet produces a subtle, light-shifting iridescence that changes with viewing angle and lighting conditions. The effect creates a luxurious visual depth that standard coloured acrylic cannot replicate — making it a distinctive choice for premium signage, retail display, and bespoke interior features.
The pearlescent effect runs through the full 3mm thickness, so laser-cut edges and machined profiles display the same shimmering finish as the surface face. Manufactured from cast acrylic (PMMA), it delivers the same impact resistance, UV stability, and weather resistance as standard coloured acrylic — up to 17 times stronger than glass at approximately half the weight.
Popular for jewellery displays, wedding stationery, personalised gifts, cake toppers, awards, and creative art projects. In commercial settings, platinum pearlescent acrylic elevates retail display fixtures, branded signage, and reception features. Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Supplied with protective film and available cut to size.
