3mm Orange Coloured Acrylic 324

The bold orange colour makes an immediate visual statement to any installation. This 3mm coloured acrylic sheet is UV-stable, weather-resistant, and built to perform in both indoor and outdoor environments.

With the orange colour cast through the full 3mm depth of the sheet, every cut edge and fabricated detail maintains a clean, consistent finish. The high-gloss surface on both faces gives a professional appearance straight from the sheet. Resistant to UV degradation, weathering, and moisture, this material holds its colour and clarity in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

Equally at home in eye-catching directional signage, exhibition displays, and trade show stands, the 3mm thickness provides sufficient rigidity for freestanding signs, wall-mounted panels, and structural glazing while remaining practical to handle and install. Compatible with laser cutting, CNC routing, and thermoforming. Available cut to size for bespoke project requirements.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The orange 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)

Signage & Visual Impact

• The bold orange colour makes this 3mm sheet a strong choice for wayfinding signage, directional boards, and information panels. High visibility and consistent pigmentation ensure it stands out in busy environments.
• Illuminated panels, lightboxes, and backlit displays use coloured acrylic for even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Retail & Commercial

• In retail and commercial settings, orange acrylic works well for furniture components, shelving inserts, and built-in cabinetry.
• 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 secondary glazing, greenhouse panels, and skylight installations. 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 model making, prototyping, and precision-fabricated components.
