3mm Neutral 9T13 Coloured Acrylic

This brown 3mm coloured acrylic sheet is manufactured from cast acrylic (PMMA) — a premium-grade thermoplastic valued for its optical clarity, colour consistency, and mechanical strength.

This brown cast acrylic is polished on both faces and pigmented through the full 3mm thickness for a consistent, professional finish on every exposed surface and edge. It will not yellow, fade, or degrade when exposed to UV light, rain, or temperature fluctuations — performing reliably in indoor and outdoor environments year-round.

Beyond visual impact, this brown acrylic is practical to work with — it cuts cleanly with standard workshop tools, lasers, and CNC machines, and can be heated and bent into curved shapes for bespoke installations. The 3mm gauge suits warm interior schemes, rustic-themed commercial fit-outs, and natural-palette design projects. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The brown 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

Architectural & Interior

• Warm-toned brown acrylic integrates well into feature walls, reception areas, and commercial interior fit-outs. The natural palette complements timber, stone, and earth-toned material schemes.
• Illuminated panels, lightboxes, and backlit displays use coloured acrylic for even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Glazing & Screening

• As a glazing material, the 3mm sheet provides a tinted, shatterproof alternative to glass for protective screens, sneeze guards, and safety barriers.
• Splashback panels in kitchens and bathrooms provide a hygienic, waterproof surface that is straightforward to maintain.

Glazing & Screening

• A shatterproof, weather-resistant alternative to glass for protective screens, sneeze guards, and safety barriers. Up to 17 times more impact-resistant at approximately half the weight.

Craft & Fabrication

• Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and thermoforming. Widely used for laser-cut jewellery, awards, trophies, and personalised gifts.
