Description
This premium opaque orange acrylic extruded tube is a high-quality engineering plastic solution designed for structural and visual applications where impact resistance, rigidity and a consistent gloss finish are essential. Manufactured to a 3 mm wall thickness, it provides a robust tube with excellent dimensional stability for reliable performance in demanding environments.
Ideal for point-of-sale displays, illuminated features and protective covers, the tube combines strong visual presence with practical durability. The vivid orange colour and smooth, high-gloss exterior lend themselves perfectly to display, lighting and safety marking applications in retail, commercial and industrial settings.
Product Features
- Available outside diameters: 19 mm, 25 mm, 38 mm and 51 mm to suit a range of display and engineering requirements.
- Standard wall thickness of 3 mm, delivering a balance of rigidity and manageable weight.
- Supplied in a convenient 1830 mm standard length for straightforward cutting, machining and installation.
- Opaque orange pigmentation for strong colour presence and effective light blocking or diffusing behind the surface.
- Extruded acrylic construction offering high rigidity and excellent surface quality.
- Gloss finish for a smooth, professional appearance that enhances visual applications.
- Compatible with common fabrication techniques such as cutting, drilling and bonding using suitable acrylic adhesives.
Key Features and Benefits
- High rigidity ensures the tube maintains its shape under load, making it suitable for structural display elements, guards and housings.
- Opaque orange colour provides excellent visibility for safety marking, zoning and high-impact visual merchandising.
- Gloss surface finish enhances aesthetics and is easy to wipe clean, supporting hygienic and professional-looking installations.
- Lightweight compared with metal alternatives, simplifying handling, transport and installation while reducing support requirements.
- Good weathering resistance of acrylic allows for use in indoor and covered outdoor environments without rapid degradation.
- Standardised diameters and length help reduce waste and make it easier to integrate into existing designs and mounting systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the 1830 mm length can be cut down using appropriate tools such as a fine-toothed saw or dedicated plastic cutting equipment. Care should be taken to support the tube during cutting and to lightly deburr the edges afterwards for a clean finish.
Is the tube suitable for outdoor use?
Acrylic offers good resistance to weathering and UV exposure, so the tube can be used in many outdoor or semi-exposed environments. However, for long-term external use, especially in harsh conditions, it is advisable to assess the installation carefully and provide suitable mechanical support.
Can the tube be bonded or fixed to other materials?
Yes, the acrylic tube can be bonded to itself or to other substrates using compatible acrylic or plastic adhesives, and it can also be mechanically fixed using brackets, clips or fasteners. When drilling or fixing, use appropriate tools and avoid excessive force to prevent cracking.
