Iridescent Green Cast® sheets (Iridis) – 3mm x 600mm x 300mm
These 100% recycled, premium quality, Iridescent (Iridis) Greencast Acrylic Sheets are made from 100% recycled MMA that doesn’t lose any optical, mechanical or thermal properties, making them extremely environmentally friendly. What’s more, at the end of its life, they can be recycled again!
When illuminated the surface takes on a range of different shades based on the angle of observation. They look, perform, fabricate and last as long as standard virgin acrylics. They are also free from volatile organic compounds and hydrofluorocarbons. The protection film is PVC-free and safe for laser cutting.
These Green Cast® Iridis sheets offer a durable and welterweight alternative to other materials, such as glass and metals. They offer 8 to 10 times higher resistance to impact than glass and are easy to work; glue, bend, mill, laser cut, thermoforming.
Features:
- Made from 100% recycled MMA
- It can also be recycled.
- The finish takes on a range of different shades based on the viewing angle.
- The sheets are VOC-free.
- The protective film is PVC-free.

Note:
- Due to the used pigments, Green Cast® Iridis is not guaranteed for external use.
- Slight differences may occur in shade between different production batches of the same color, caused by different pigment batches.
- Storage: The correct way to store acrylic sheets is to place them horizontally on a flat surface in a well-ventilated space at a consistently moderate temperature.
Applications:
Opaque Acrylic sheets have many applications such as point of sale, model making, signs, artistic and architectural installation, casings, etc.
Working with Acrylic sheets:
Acrylic is a versatile material that can be cut, drilled, laser cut and thermoformed.
Acrylic is a thermoplastic which means that when it is heated above 140-180°C it becomes flexible. This allows the material to be formed into the required shape or bent. Once the material cools below 85°C it becomes rigid again.
Acrylic sheets are often shaped using a CNC router or laser cutter. The edge of laser-cut Acrylic has a pleasing polished look. If you look carefully at the edge of a piece of laser-cut Acrylic you can often see slight vertical lines that are caused by the pulses a laser uses when cutting.
If you want to get a perfectly smooth finish on the edge of a piece of machined Acrylic a polishing technique can be used. Typical polishing techniques include diamond polishing and flame polishing.
It also possible to etch the surface of an Acrylic sheet using a laser cutter. This can produce some very pleasing visual effects.
