3mm Platinum Coloured Acrylic 9PY2

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.

Pearlescent & Optical Properties

• Iridescent colour shift: The platinum pearlescent finish produces a subtle colour change depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions — creating a premium, light-catching appearance that standard coloured acrylic cannot achieve.
• Depth of finish: Multiple pearlescent pigment layers create visual depth within the sheet, giving the surface a rich, luxurious quality suited to high-end design applications.
• Consistent throughout: The pearlescent effect runs through the full 3mm thickness, so machined edges and cut profiles maintain the same shimmering finish.

Strength & Durability

• Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass, with a safe fracture pattern.
