Product description

A popular choice for health and wellness spaces, pharmacy branding, and sustainable design projects, this green 5mm coloured acrylic sheet combines visual impact with lasting durability.

This green cast acrylic is polished on both faces and pigmented through the full 5mm 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.

From educational settings, sports facilities, and themed retail environments, this green 5mm sheet adapts to the demands of the application. It machines cleanly on laser cutters, CNC routers, and table saws, and thermoforms at controlled temperatures for curved and shaped components. Available in standard stock sizes or cut to your specification.

Product reference: 5mm Bright Green Coloured Acrylic 6T81 (shade 6T81).

Properties

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

Usage

Commercial & Architectural

  • This green 5mm sheet is commonly specified for shopfront fascias, window displays, and promotional graphics 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 kitchen splashbacks, bathroom panels, and decorative wall features.
  • 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 wedding decor, event signage, cake toppers, and table centrepieces.
