PMMA ACRYLIC TUBE
Product Description
Acrylic tubes are hollow cylindrical products made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) — a type of transparent thermoplastic often used as a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Our Acrylic Tubes are precision-engineered from high-quality PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), offering superior transparency, weather resistance, and ease of fabrication. Ideal for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and decorative applications.
Types of Acrylic Tubes
- Clear Acrylic Tube – Maximum transparency; widely used for display and visual applications.
- Colored Acrylic Tube – Available in various tints or solid colors.
- Frosted Acrylic Tube – Matte or diffused finish for softer light transmission.
Extruded vs Cast Acrylic Tubes:
- Extruded: Cheaper, consistent diameter, good for general use.
- Cast: Higher optical clarity, better strength, suitable for machining.
Key Features
- Transparency, Durability, Weight, Temperature Resistance, Chemical Resistance, Machinability.
Common Sizes & Dimensions
Acrylic tubes are available in various outer diameters (OD), inner diameters (ID), and wall thicknesses, ranging from small tubes (e.g., 5 mm OD) to large ones (over 300 mm OD). Custom sizes are also available.
