Opal acrylic sheets
Opal acrylic sheets – ideal for backlighting
Opal acrylic, also known as opal plexiglass or milky acrylic glass, is a material with excellent light-diffusing properties. It is perfectly suited for applications where backlighting effects and soft, even light diffusion are essential. Thanks to its structure, opal acrylic effectively conceals LED light sources while maintaining high light transmission.
