Color variations in acrylic sheets can occur due to several factors, including:
Production batch differences: Slight changes in pigment concentration or raw materials between batches.
Manufacturing conditions: Variations in temperature, pressure, or curing time during production.
UV exposure: Prolonged sunlight exposure may cause fading or color shifts.
Cutting/processing: Heat generated during cutting or machining can alter surface color temporarily.
Store in a cool, dry, UV-protected environment away from direct sunlight.
Keep protective films intact until installation to avoid scratches or chemical reactions.
Avoid stacking sheets with uneven pressure, which may cause stress-induced discoloration.
While custom colors reduce risks, absolute consistency is challenging. Always request a pre-production sample and agree on a tolerance range with the supplier.
