Wall thicknesses ranging from 1.250″ O.D. to 1.875 O.D. with .125, .187, or .250 wall. 2″ to 27.625″ diameter with .125, .187, .250, .375, or .500 wall. 32.5″ to 96″ diameter with .250, .375, .500, .750, 1.00 wall. Cast acrylic tubes weigh half as much as glass and have greater impact resistance than glass. These tubes meet ASTM 5436, certified FDA CFR 21 177.1010, UL approved 94 HB.

Extruded Acrylic Tubes are available with outside diameters ranging from 1/4″ to 14″ and inside diameters ranging from 1/8″ to 13 3/4″. These economical acrylic tubes are excellent for use in POP Displays and other decorative uses. Extruded acrylic tubes can be used in a number of applications such as displays, aquarium tanks, arts & crafts, and much much more. Extruded tubing is inexpensive and easy to work with but it cannot be machined. If you need exact tolerances, cast acrylic tube is the better option.
