Description
This premium extruded blue acrylic tube offers a rigid, high-gloss solution for display, lighting and protective sleeve applications. Manufactured from quality acrylic, it delivers excellent optical clarity and a smooth surface finish that enhances the appearance of illuminated and non-illuminated installations.
With a consistent 3 mm wall thickness and a choice of outside diameters, this tube is ideal for point-of-sale displays, architectural features, light diffusers and protective covers. The vibrant blue tint helps control glare and adds a decorative accent while still allowing light transmission, making it well suited to retail, commercial and exhibition environments.
Product Features
- Available outside diameters: 19 mm (supplied in a pack of 2), 25 mm, 38 mm and 51 mm to suit a range of display and fabrication requirements.
- Uniform 3 mm wall thickness across all diameters for consistent strength and predictable machining performance.
- Standard tube length of 1830 mm, providing ample material for cutting to custom sizes or multiple components.
- Extruded blue acrylic construction with a bright, glossy surface finish for a professional, high-quality appearance.
- Good rigidity and dimensional stability, suitable for freestanding or supported display structures.
- Light-transmitting blue tint ideal for decorative lighting effects, illuminated signage and design features.
- Supplied as straight lengths ready for sawing, drilling and bonding using suitable acrylic fabrication techniques.
Key Features and Benefits
- High gloss surface enhances visual impact, making displays and lighting fixtures look clean, bright and professional.
- Rigid acrylic material resists bending and deformation, helping installations maintain their shape over time.
- Predefined diameters and length reduce preparation time and waste, simplifying cutting and fabrication.
- Blue tint supports creative lighting designs by softening direct light and adding colour without completely obscuring the source.
- Lightweight compared with glass, making handling, installation and transport safer and more convenient.
- Good machinability allows easy cutting, drilling and edge finishing with standard plastic-working tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this blue acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the tube can be cut to shorter lengths using appropriate tools such as a fine-toothed saw or specialised plastic-cutting equipment. For best results, support the tube during cutting and lightly deburr or polish the cut edges afterwards.
Is this acrylic tube suitable for outdoor use?
Acrylic generally offers good weather resistance and can be used outdoors in many situations. However, performance will depend on exposure conditions, so for long-term external installations it is advisable to assess UV exposure, temperature changes and mechanical loads to ensure suitability.
Can the tube be drilled or machined without cracking?
Yes, the tube can be drilled and machined using sharp tools designed for plastics and appropriate feed rates. Avoid excessive pressure and heat build-up, and support the tube adequately during machining to minimise the risk of cracking or chipping.
