Acrylic Cast Clear Tube
Description
Acrylic Cast Clear Tube is an optically perfectly clear, highly polished product with characteristics including excellent resistance to mechanical stress, wide thermoforming range and good thermal stability. The long term service temperature range of Cast Acrylic is from -20°C to 80°C.
Typical fields of application for Cast Acrylic include set design for film and tv, retail display and aquarium and fish tank design. Cast Acrylic is a material well suited to fabrication, gluing and CNC turning. Similar materials available from Plastock include Acrylic Extruded Clear Tube and Acrylic Cast Clear Rod.

Thick Wall Tubes
Thick wall tubes are double-cast meaning a second tube is cast inside the first to achieve the desired thickness. While this maintains the physical properties of single-cast tubes, optical distortion and tolerance issues may result. Complaints about quality of double-cast tubes are not accepted.
Applies to sizes:
- Outside diameter 60-100mm, wall thickness 8, 10, 12 & 15mm
- Outside diameter 110-610mm, wall thickness 12 & 15mm
