Polycast® Acrylic Tube, Cast - Clear

Polycast® cast acrylic tube is a continuously cast, polished round tube with the optical clarity, weatherability and UV stability that only cast acrylic delivers. Cast tube machines and polishes far better than extruded tube, holds its dimensions through fabrication, and resists crazing when cemented or annealed. Every tube is inspected, packaged and labelled with its specifications before it ships. Stock runs from 1.500" through 27.625" outside diameter in wall thicknesses of .125", .187", .250", .375" and .500", with special walls available on request.

Clear cast tube is the standard choice for display cylinders and risers, museum and retail vitrines, lighting diffusers, sight glasses and liquid-level columns, protective machine guards, aquariums and water features, and turned or machined components. It cements cleanly with solvent or two-part acrylic adhesive and flame-polishes to a water-clear edge. Acrylic is not recommended for continuous contact with strong solvents, and cast tube should be annealed before heavy machining to relieve stress. Tube is stocked in 6' lengths (random 71"–73") and can be cut to your specified length for a charge, which saves both material and shop time.
