Description
This premium clear acrylic cast tube offers a strong, lightweight and visually striking solution for a wide range of fabrication, display and engineering projects. Manufactured from high-quality cast acrylic, it provides exceptional clarity and a polished appearance, making it ideal wherever transparency and aesthetics are as important as performance.
Available in a choice of outside diameters and wall thicknesses, this 2000 mm length acrylic tube can be cut, machined and fabricated to suit specific requirements. Commonly used in point-of-sale displays, architectural features, protective guards and lighting installations, it is a versatile material for both commercial and industrial environments.
Product Features
- Clear cast acrylic tube for excellent optical clarity and a high-gloss finish.
- Outside diameter options including 120 mm, 125 mm, 127 mm, 134 mm, 139 mm and additional sizes across the range.
- Multiple wall thickness options such as 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm and other intermediate thicknesses for tailored strength and rigidity.
- Standard length of 2000 mm, suitable for long runs or for cutting into multiple shorter sections.
- Cast acrylic construction for superior machinability compared with extruded alternatives.
- Lightweight yet robust material that is significantly lighter than glass at comparable dimensions.
- Good resistance to weathering and many household and industrial chemicals.
Key Features and Benefits
- Outstanding transparency ensures contents, lighting or internal components remain clearly visible for display and inspection applications.
- High impact and crack resistance compared with glass reduces the risk of breakage and helps to improve safety.
- Easy to cut, drill, bond and polish using standard plastic fabrication techniques, saving time during production and installation.
- Weather-resistant material is suitable for many indoor and outdoor uses, maintaining clarity over an extended service life.
- Available in multiple diameters and wall thicknesses so you can select the right balance of strength, weight and internal clearance.
- Low maintenance surface that can be cleaned with mild detergents, helping to keep installations looking professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the 2000 mm tube can be cut to size using appropriate tools such as a fine-tooth saw or dedicated plastic cutting equipment. For best results, support the tube securely, use slow, steady cuts and de-burr or polish the edges after cutting.
Is the clear acrylic tube suitable for outdoor use?
The cast acrylic material offers good resistance to weathering and UV exposure, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. Over extended periods, some surface wear or slight colour shift may occur, but it generally maintains its clarity well when correctly installed and maintained.
What is the difference between cast acrylic tube and extruded acrylic tube?
Cast acrylic tube is produced by casting the material in a mould, which typically results in better optical clarity, improved machinability and lower internal stress compared with extruded tube. This makes cast tube preferable for high-quality visual displays and precision fabrication, although it can be more costly than extruded alternatives.
