OP-3 UV Filtering Acrylic Sheet

ACRYLITE® Gallery UV Filtering OP3 is the highest level of UV protection available in acrylic glazing. Unlike coated alternatives, the UV filtering properties are built into the acrylic itself — not applied to the surface — meaning either side can face the artwork without compromising protection. It blocks nearly 100% of UV light in the 390-nanometer range, stopping the irreversible chemical breakdown of color molecules that causes fading, yellowing, and brittleness in paper, fabric, and pigment over time.

The standard specification for conservation framing, archival displays, museum installations, and any application where the long-term integrity of the work is non-negotiable. A direct replacement for UV-filtering glass at roughly half the weight, with no breakage risk during handling, shipping, or installation. Optically clear with 92% light transmission, acid-free, distortion-free, and shatterproof. Note: OP3 carries a slight yellow tint due to the UV-filtering pigment built into the material — this is characteristic of the product and expected by professional framers.

ACRYLITE® Gallery OP3 (0B000 GT), smooth finish both sides. Full sheets 48" × 96", pre-cut tolerance +/−1/8". Compatible with cutting, routing, drilling, and edge polishing. Custom cut-to-size available from our SoHo NYC workshop.
