5mm Bright Green Coloured Acrylic 6T81

This green 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is manufactured from cast acrylic (PMMA) — a premium-grade thermoplastic valued for its optical clarity, colour consistency, and mechanical strength.

Cast from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), the green pigment is integral to the material rather than applied as a surface coating. This means the 5mm sheet maintains its colour through cutting, routing, and edge polishing. The UV-stabilised formulation resists yellowing and fading, with both surfaces delivered in a polished gloss finish.

Equally at home in nature-inspired interiors, garden centre displays, and eco-branded environments, the 5mm 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 green pigment runs through the full 5mm 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: 5mm
• Fire rating: Self-extinguishing, classified to BS 476
• Density: Approximately 1.19 g/cm³ — significantly lighter than glass (2.5 g/cm³)

Commercial & Architectural

• This green 5mm sheet is commonly specified for wayfinding signage, directional boards, and information panels in corporate, educational, and healthcare environments where colour-coded or branded materials are required.
• Illuminated panels, lightboxes, and backlit displays use coloured acrylic for even light diffusion with vibrant colour saturation.

Interior Design

• For interior applications, it suits 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 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.
