5mm Orange 363 Coloured Acrylic

A popular choice for eye-catching directional signage, exhibition displays, and trade show stands, this orange 5mm coloured acrylic sheet combines visual impact with lasting durability.

This orange 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.

The 5mm sheet is rigid enough for structural panel applications yet light enough for straightforward handling and installation. It can be cut to any shape, drilled, engraved, and thermoformed. Well suited to food service environments, casual dining interiors, and promotional installations. Bonds with solvent-based acrylic cements for fabricated assemblies. Protective film on both faces.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The orange 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)

Signage & Visual Impact

• The bold orange colour makes this 5mm 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, 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 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 model making, prototyping, and precision-fabricated components.
