Polycast® Acrylic Rod, Round, Cast - Pearl Color

Polycast® pearl colored cast acrylic rod brings genuine cell-cast quality to a full spectrum of colors, offering the optical clarity, high impact resistance, and superb weathering performance that distinguishes cast acrylic from extruded alternatives. Because the color is cast throughout the material rather than applied as a surface coating, it stays true through cutting, turning, and polishing — no exposed clear cores or color variation across a machined face. The Polycast rod line spans four color families: standard colors, pearl colors with an opaque pearlescent effect, transparent and translucent colors, and vivid fluorescents that glow at the edges under ambient light.

Cast acrylic's higher molecular weight makes this rod exceptionally machinable, holding tolerance through turning, drilling, and threading with clean chip formation and edges that flame- or hand-polish to a glass-smooth finish. Combined with excellent UV stability and outdoor weathering resistance, that makes colored cast rod a standard choice for awards and trophies, retail displays and risers, sign standoffs, lighting and edge-lit accents, jewelry and art pieces, knobs and handles, and architectural detail work. It bonds cleanly with acrylic solvent cement for nearly invisible color-matched joints, and fluorescent grades in particular deliver dramatic edge-glow effects that no painted or extruded material can reproduce.
