Colored extruded acrylic rods come in standard 6 foot lengths. These economical acrylic rods are excellent for use in POP Displays and other decorative items. Colored extruded acrylic rods are a versatile plastic material that has great impact strength yet is lightweight. Acrylic, aka plexiglass, can be used in a number of applications such as signage, displays, model making, aquarium tanks, arts & crafts, and much more.
Keep in mind that extruded acrylic rods do not have the optical clarity or machining characteristics of cast acrylic rod. In larger diameter rods (.875″ diameter and above) these high-quality extruded rods are commonly used for grab bars in showers, tubs and spas.
