Description
This premium extruded frosted green acrylic tube is a high-quality engineering plastic profile designed for both functional and decorative applications. Manufactured to precise dimensions, it offers an excellent balance of strength, low weight and visual appeal, making it suitable for a wide range of projects where appearance and performance are equally important.
The subtly frosted green finish diffuses light and reduces glare, while still allowing good light transmission, making the tube ideal for illuminated displays, covers, guards and design features. Its weather-resistant properties and impact strength also make it a dependable choice for indoor and sheltered outdoor use across industrial, commercial and retail environments.
Product Features
- Outside diameter: 51 mm for a robust yet manageable profile suitable for structural and display uses.
- Wall thickness: 3 mm, providing a good combination of rigidity, strength and low weight.
- Standard length: 1830 mm, offering generous coverage for most projects and easy cutting to size.
- Frosted green finish for diffuse light transmission and an attractive, contemporary appearance.
- Extruded acrylic construction for consistent wall thickness and reliable dimensional accuracy.
- Lightweight alternative to glass with enhanced impact resistance and easier handling.
- Good weather and UV resistance, ideal for long-term use in indoor and covered outdoor settings.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight yet durable, reducing handling effort and installation time compared to glass or metal tubes.
- Frosted surface helps hide internal components while still allowing light to pass through, perfect for illuminated or backlit applications.
- Excellent clarity and colour stability of acrylic ensure an attractive appearance over time with minimal yellowing or fading.
- Good chemical and weather resistance supports long service life in demanding commercial and light industrial environments.
- Easy to cut, drill and machine using standard workshop tools, allowing straightforward customisation on site or in the workshop.
- Non-conductive material offers added safety in applications where electrical insulation is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the tube can be cut to size using suitable tools such as a fine-tooth saw or specialised plastic cutting equipment. For best results, support the tube firmly during cutting and carefully deburr the edges afterwards.
Is this frosted green acrylic tube suitable for outdoor use?
The tube offers good weather and UV resistance, making it suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. For fully exposed, long-term external use, performance will depend on environmental conditions, and additional protection or periodic inspection is recommended.
Can the tube be drilled or machined without cracking?
Yes, it can be drilled and machined using the correct techniques and sharp tools suitable for plastics. Use moderate speeds, avoid excessive heat build-up, and support the tube adequately to minimise the risk of cracking or chipping.
