3mm Yellow Coloured Acrylic 260

Delivering up to 17 times the impact resistance of glass at roughly half the weight, this yellow 3mm coloured acrylic sheet is engineered for both performance and aesthetics.

This yellow 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 yellow 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 construction sector signage, industrial identification, and warning panels. Supplied with protective film and available in custom dimensions.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The yellow 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
• Water absorption: Less than 0.3% — suitable for wet environments and outdoor installations

Signage & Visual Impact

• The bold yellow colour makes this 3mm sheet a strong choice for illuminated sign panels, lightbox fascias, and branded environments. 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, yellow acrylic works well for room dividers, privacy screens, and decorative partitions.
• 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 art installations, sculptural work, and mixed-media projects.
