Color Acrylic Sheet

Ever looked at a display or a shop sign and wondered—why choose a color acrylic sheet instead of a clear one? 

On the surface, they’re both acrylic sheets. But the way a color acrylic sheet is made, and the way it behaves, is not the same as transparent acrylic.

Production Differences You Don’t Always Hear About

Transparent acrylic sheet is typically cast or extruded using PMMA resin with no pigment. The process focuses on maximum light transmission—up to about 92%—to mimic optical glass. Color acrylic sheet goes through an extra stage: pigments or dyes are precisely mixed into the resin before casting or extrusion. Sounds simple, but it’s not. The pigment load affects flow, cooling, and surface finish. Too much color can cause streaks or internal stress. Too little, and the sheet looks faded under sunlight.

At Apexplast, our acrylic sheet factory runs controlled-temperature casting lines and uses SGS-tested pigments. Years of tuning let us maintain consistent thickness and vibrant color without warping. A European signage client recently told us they used to get color variation from another supplier—letters on a storefront didn’t match under daylight. Switching to Apexplast’s color acrylic sheets solved that problem.

Applications That Rely on Color Acrylic Sheet

Color acrylic sheets aren’t just decoration. They’re crucial for:

Retail and Exhibition Displays – Brand colors pop without printing.

Signage and Lettering – Outdoor UV stability keeps colors bright.

Furniture and Interior Design – Panels, partitions, and cabinet doors add a modern touch.

Lighting and Decorative Panels – Frosted or translucent colors diffuse LED light beautifully.

Art and DIY Projects – Artists use small-batch color acrylic for sculptures and signage prototypes.

Transparent acrylic still wins when you need absolute clarity—like aquariums or protective covers. But when brand identity or design impact matters, color acrylic sheet takes the spotlight.
