Description
This premium extruded red acrylic tube offers a rigid, high-clarity solution for a wide range of engineering, display, and fabrication projects. Manufactured to tight tolerances, it delivers a consistent outside diameter and wall thickness for reliable performance and a professional finish.
With its vibrant red colour and gloss exterior, this tube is ideal for visual applications such as point-of-sale displays, guards, sleeves, and architectural features, as well as light-duty engineering uses where strength, rigidity, and aesthetics are equally important.
Product Features
- Available outside diameters: 19 mm, 25 mm, 38 mm, and 51 mm for a range of design requirements.
- Uniform 3 mm wall thickness for predictable strength and easy integration into engineered assemblies.
- Standard length of 1830 mm, suitable for most fabrication projects with minimal cutting and waste.
- High gloss red finish for a striking visual appearance and enhanced display impact.
- Extruded acrylic construction offering excellent rigidity and dimensional stability.
- Good optical clarity through the wall, allowing visibility of internal components and lighting effects.
- Easy to cut, drill, and bond using common plastic-working techniques and tools.
Key Features and Benefits
- High rigidity helps the tube maintain shape under load, supporting light-duty structural and protective applications.
- Gloss finish and bright red colour enhance visual appeal, making it well suited to retail, exhibition, and decorative installations.
- Consistent dimensions across all diameters simplify design, machining, and assembly into larger systems.
- Lightweight compared with glass or metal, easing handling, installation, and transport.
- Good resistance to moisture and many common household and industrial environments for reliable long-term use.
- Simple to machine and fabricate, allowing custom lengths, cut-outs, and fittings to be produced in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the tube can be cut down from the standard 1830 mm length using suitable tools such as a fine-toothed saw or specialised plastic-cutting equipment. For best results, support the tube during cutting and de-burr the edges afterwards.
Is the tube suitable for outdoor use?
Acrylic has good weather resistance and can be used outdoors, although long-term exposure to strong sunlight and harsh conditions may affect appearance over time. For demanding outdoor applications, additional protection or periodic inspection is recommended.
Can I glue the acrylic tube to other materials?
Yes, the tube can be bonded to acrylic and many other materials using appropriate acrylic cements or compatible adhesives. Always check the adhesive manufacturer’s guidance for suitability and perform a small test where possible before full assembly.
