Description
This premium extruded translucent green acrylic tube combines high gloss clarity with robust rigidity, making it ideal for professional display work, furniture accents and modern interior detailing. The tube’s smooth, polished finish and vivid green tint provide a striking visual impact while still allowing light transmission for illuminated or backlit designs.
Engineered for reliability and ease of fabrication, this acrylic tube is supplied in a fixed 1830 mm length with a 3 mm wall thickness and a choice of outside diameters from 19 mm up to 102 mm. It can be cut, drilled, bonded and thermoformed using standard acrylic-working techniques, making it a versatile choice for point-of-sale displays, protective sleeves, structural features and decorative installations.
Product Features
- Translucent green acrylic tube with a high gloss exterior for a clean, professional appearance.
- Available outside diameters: 19 mm (pack of 2), 25 mm, 38 mm, 51 mm and 102 mm to suit a range of design and structural requirements.
- Uniform 3 mm wall thickness across all sizes for consistent strength and predictable machining behaviour.
- Standard 1830 mm length, ideal for full-length features or multiple components cut from a single tube.
- Rigid extruded construction for straight, dimensionally stable sections suitable for structural or semi-structural use.
- Translucent finish allows light transmission, enabling creative lighting and illuminated display applications.
- Compatible with common acrylic fabrication methods including cutting, drilling, bonding and thermoforming.
Key Features and Benefits
- Eye-catching visual appeal: The high gloss surface and translucent green colour create a premium look, enhancing the perceived value of displays, fittings and furniture elements.
- Versatile design options: Multiple outside diameters up to 102 mm allow use for anything from slim decorative details to larger structural or protective sleeves.
- Reliable rigidity: The 3 mm wall thickness and extruded acrylic construction provide good stiffness and dimensional stability for straight, true installations.
- Easy to fabricate: Can be cut to length, edge-finished, drilled or shaped using standard acrylic tools and techniques, saving time in production and prototyping.
- Light-transmitting properties: Translucent material diffuses light for attractive illuminated effects without exposing internal fixings or light sources directly.
- Durable and low maintenance: Resistant to moisture and everyday handling, with a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and keep looking presentable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths without cracking?
Yes, the tube can be cut down using appropriate tools for acrylic, such as a fine-toothed saw or dedicated plastic cutting equipment. Securing the tube, using slow, controlled cuts and de-burring the edges afterwards will help minimise the risk of chipping or cracking.
Is the tube suitable for outdoor use in furniture or display projects?
Acrylic offers good weather and UV resistance compared with many other plastics, so the tube can be used outdoors in many situations. However, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and harsh conditions may eventually affect appearance, so it is recommended to assess the environment and provide suitable support and maintenance where necessary.
Can the translucent green acrylic tube be bent or formed into curves?
The tube is rigid at room temperature but can be thermoformed when heated using suitable equipment and controlled temperatures for acrylic. When bending or forming, ensure even heating and use proper formers or jigs to avoid flattening the section or introducing stress that could lead to cracking.
