5mm Yellow Coloured Acrylic 261

Cut it, drill it, laser-engrave it, or thermoform it — this yellow 5mm coloured acrylic sheet is designed to be worked. From precision-fabricated signage to large-format architectural panels, it adapts to the demands of the project.

With the yellow colour cast through the full 5mm depth of the sheet, every cut edge and fabricated detail maintains a clean, consistent finish. The high-gloss surface on both faces gives a professional appearance straight from the sheet. Resistant to UV degradation, weathering, and moisture, this material holds its colour and clarity in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

Equally at home in high-visibility safety signage, hazard markers, and directional boards, 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 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
• Fire rating: Self-extinguishing, classified to BS 476

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 feature walls, reception areas, and commercial interior fit-outs.
• 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.
