Description White acrylic sheet 3 mm

This acrylic sheet is white and has a thickness of 3mm. Because it is a moulded acrylic sheet, it is easy to process by drilling, sawing and milling. This is why coloured acrylic is often used for decorative and finishing applications. This coloured acrylic sheet is 30 times stronger than glass and twice as light. Thanks to its good UV-resistant qualities, this material is very suitable for indoor and outdoor use. On delivery, they are provided with protective film on both sides. Bear in mind that the thickness can deviate by approximately 10 % of the thickness. This sheet is 4% translucent. We cut the sheets for you in any shape you like.

Specifications

Lightweight and strong
Acrylic weighs 50% less than regular glass, and still it is a lot stronger: compared to glass, acrylic is 30 times as impact resistant. It takes a lot of force to break an acrylic sheet, but when is does break it cracks in a clean line and will not splinter like glass. In comparison to glass, acrylic has a higher transparency and lets through more light. This will be especially apparent when comparing thicker acrylic and glass sheets.

Weather resistant
Acrylic’s strength makes it ideal for outdoor applications, such as wind breaks and skylights. For these purposes it also helps that acrylic is UV and weather resistant. Because of the dense surface, water and dirt won’t stick. Regular cleaning with an anti-static plastic cleaner is recommended to prevent the acrylic sheet from attracting dust.

Easy to process
Acrylic is easy to work with, but there is a clear difference between cast and extruded acrylic sheets. Extruded acrylic sheets are less suitable for certain processing because of internal tension in the material. This tension makes extruded sheets prone to breaking when you drill or saw them. This is a cast sheet, so with the right tools and preparation it is easy to work with. The sheet is covered by a protective film to protect it from damage during transport and handling.
