Tube and Tubing
Acrylic Transparent Tube
Acrylic also called Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent thermoplastic often used as light weight or shatter-resistant alternatives to glass. Acrylic is an economical alternative to polycarbonate when extreme strength is not necessary. Additionally, doesn't contain potentially harmful bisphenol-A subunits. Often preferred because of moderate properties, easy handling and processing and low cost. Acrylic in the form off tubes affords hatter resistant panels for making rotating shafts, spacers, display and many other applications. Please note this item is not a precision item. The inside diameter is not toleranced and may vary between batches.
