3mm Parma Violet Coloured Acrylic SA 7562

This palma violet 3mm frosted acrylic sheet brings a subtle, diffused colour to any installation. The satin finish reduces glare and obscures direct visibility while still allowing ambient light through — making it ideal for partitions, splashbacks, and backlit signage.

Manufactured from cast acrylic with a satin frosted surface, this sheet delivers the premium look of etched glass without the fragility. The palma violet pastel pigment is consistent throughout the 3mm thickness, and the material resists UV degradation, moisture, and weathering for reliable performance indoors and out.

Frosted palma violet acrylic is widely used for privacy screens, room dividers, bathroom panels, lightbox fascias, and decorative feature walls. It machines cleanly with laser cutters, CNC routers, and standard hand tools, and can be thermoformed for curved components. Laser engraving produces a striking contrast against the frosted surface — popular for personalised signage, awards, and gifts. Available cut to size.

Optical & Aesthetic Properties

• Frosted satin finish: The palma violet frosted surface provides a soft, diffused appearance that scatters light evenly — reducing glare and creating a refined, contemporary look.
• Light diffusion: Reduces direct light transmission while still allowing ambient illumination through the sheet, making it effective for backlit signage and privacy glazing.
• Pastel colour palette: The palma violet tone is subtle and consistent across the full sheet, providing a muted aesthetic that complements modern interior design schemes.

Strength & Durability

• Impact resistance: Up to 17 times more impact-resistant than glass. Fractures into dull-edged pieces rather than sharp shards if broken.
• UV stability: Resistant to colour fade and yellowing from UV exposure, maintaining appearance over extended periods in both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Lightweight: Approximately half the weight of equivalent glass, simplifying handling, transport, and installation.
• Weather resistant: Performs well in outdoor environments without warping, cracking, or degrading.

Workability

• Machinable: Suitable for laser cutting, CNC routing, drilling, and hand-tool fabrication. The frosted surface should be handled carefully to avoid scuff marks.
• Thermoformable: Can be heated and shaped for curved or formed components.
• Engravable: Laser engraving produces a contrasting mark against the frosted surface, making it effective for personalised signage and awards.

Interior Design & Privacy Glazing

• Privacy screens and room dividers: The frosted finish of palma violet acrylic diffuses light while obscuring direct visibility, making it ideal for office partitions, bathroom panels, and room dividers in both domestic and commercial settings.

• Retail displays and POS: The muted, frosted surface gives retail fixtures and point-of-sale stands a refined, contemporary appearance.
