Description
This premium fluorescent green acrylic extruded rod is designed to deliver exceptional luminance and light diffusion, making it ideal for eye-catching visual elements. Manufactured from high-quality acrylic, the rod offers excellent clarity, a vivid fluorescent glow under ambient and UV lighting, and a smooth, consistent surface finish.
Commonly used in display systems, point-of-sale features, furniture design and architectural detailing, this rod combines impact resistance with attractive aesthetics. The 2000 mm length provides ample material for continuous runs or multiple cut-to-size components in professional and creative applications.
Product Features
- High-clarity fluorescent green acrylic for bright, high-visibility effects.
- Extruded rod profile with a smooth, uniform surface for clean machining and finishing.
- Available diameter options: 4 mm (supplied in a pack of 5 rods) and 10 mm (supplied in a pack of 2 rods).
- Generous standard length of 2000 mm per rod, suitable for larger installations or multiple parts.
- Excellent light diffusion properties, enhancing edge lighting and back-lit display designs.
- Good impact resistance and rigidity compared with standard glass alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this fluorescent acrylic rod be used outdoors?
The rod offers good durability, but prolonged outdoor exposure may lead to colour and surface changes over time. For the best appearance and service life, it is recommended primarily for indoor or sheltered installations, or for outdoor uses where some weathering is acceptable.
How can I cut and finish the acrylic rod without causing cracks?
The rod can be cut using fine-toothed saws or suitable plastic-cutting tools, while keeping the material well supported and avoiding excessive feed rates. Edges can be smoothed with progressively finer abrasives and then polished mechanically or by flame polishing, following standard acrylic fabrication practices.
Is the rod suitable for use with LED lighting for edge-lit effects?
Yes, the fluorescent acrylic is ideal for use with LEDs and other light sources. When light is introduced at the rod ends or along its length, the material diffuses and carries the light, producing a bright, glowing effect that enhances edge-lit and back-lit designs.
