3mm Fluorescent Red Recycled Acrylic 71134
From £0.24
A 3mm fluorescent red acrylic sheet engineered for maximum visual impact. Bright surface colour with neon-like edge glow — suited to retail displays, exhibition stands, art installations, and themed environments. Made from 100% recycled acrylic (shade 71134).
Product description
This red 3mm fluorescent acrylic sheet is designed for maximum visual impact. The fluorescent pigment delivers a vivid surface colour and a distinctive glowing edge effect — intensifying further under UV and blacklight conditions. Manufactured from 100% recycled acrylic and fully recyclable at end of life, it delivers vivid fluorescent performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
The fluorescent red 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 red 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
- Density: Approximately 1.19 g/cm³ — significantly lighter than glass (2.5 g/cm³)
Usage
Sustainable Signage & Displays
- Recycled red acrylic allows businesses to meet sustainability targets without compromising on visual quality. Particularly suited to public sector projects with sustainable procurement requirements.
- 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.
