5mm Yellow Coloured Acrylic 260

The bold yellow colour makes an immediate visual statement to any installation. This 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is UV-stable, weather-resistant, and built to perform in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Manufactured as a cast acrylic, this yellow sheet offers superior optical qualities and machining characteristics compared to extruded alternatives. The colour runs through the full 5mm thickness — meaning laser-cut edges, drilled holes, and routed profiles all maintain the same consistent yellow tone. UV-resistant properties protect against discolouration from prolonged sun exposure.

From high-visibility safety signage, hazard markers, and directional boards, this yellow 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.

Optical & Aesthetic

• Colour consistency: The yellow 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

Signage & Visual Impact

• The bold yellow colour makes this 5mm sheet a strong choice for wayfinding signage, directional boards, and information panels. 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 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 motorcycle windscreens, boat windows, and vehicle glazing. 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.
