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.
We can also supply Eco Acrylic Cast Clear Tube that is manufactured with 100% recycled MMA and is recyclable.
