Material Overview
Our opal PMMA sheets (3 mm) are semi-transparent with a soft, milky appearance that subtly diffuses light without being completely transparent. Made from UV-resistant PMMA (such as Plexiglas®/Perspex®), this opal acrylic is 25× stronger and 50% lighter than glass. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and highly laser-friendly, resulting in clean-cut edges and subtly whiter engravings.
Light Opal
This 'privacy' acrylic makes outlines visible while providing diffusion, making it perfect for lighting applications, panels, and atmospheric interior or exterior projects. The transparent effect comes from a light transmittance of ~80%.
Milk White Opal
Milk white or opal sheets are semi-transparent and beautifully diffuse light evenly – ideal for applications such as light boxes, illuminated logos, and interior panels. In normal daylight they appear opaque white, but with backlighting they create a warm, soft glow. The transparent effect arises from a light transmittance of ~32%.
