3mm Fluorescent Green Recycled Acrylic 71150
From £0.24
Fluorescent green 3mm acrylic sheet with a vivid surface colour and distinctive glowing edge effect. UV-reactive — intensifies under blacklight. Ideal for high-visibility signage, safety markers, and creative installations. Made from 100% recycled acrylic (shade 71150).
Product description
Engineered to stand out, this green 3mm fluorescent acrylic sheet produces an intense, saturated colour that is significantly brighter than standard coloured acrylic. The distinctive edge glow absorbs ambient light and re-emits it along cut edges for a striking neon-like effect without electrical components. Manufactured from 100% recycled acrylic and fully recyclable at end of life, it delivers vivid fluorescent performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
The fluorescent green pigment runs through the full 3mm sheet thickness, ensuring cut edges and machined features maintain the same high-intensity colour. Laser cutting produces particularly clean, glowing edges that enhance the fluorescent effect. The material offers the same impact resistance, lightweight handling, and workability as standard cast acrylic — up to 17 times stronger than glass at approximately half the weight.
A first choice for high-visibility signage, safety markers, attention-grabbing retail displays, and creative installations. Fluorescent acrylic is also popular in art, set design, nightclub and bar interiors, and themed environments where UV-reactive materials create dramatic visual effects. Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Available cut to size.

Properties
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)
- Thickness: 3mm
- Fire rating: Self-extinguishing, classified to BS 476

Usage
Sustainable Signage & Displays
- Recycled green acrylic allows businesses to meet sustainability targets without compromising on visual quality. Particularly suited to retail environments pursuing B Corp or sustainability certification.
- Vibrant colour saturation and consistent pigmentation make recycled acrylic indistinguishable from virgin material in display applications.
Interior Design & Architecture
- Splashbacks, feature panels, glazing, and screening — all standard acrylic applications are fully achievable with recycled material. UV-stable and weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor use.
Craft & Fabrication
- Fully compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, and thermoforming. Being 100% recyclable at end of life supports a circular approach to plastic use.
