Holland Plastics carries an extensive range of clear acrylic tube — also known as Perspex® tube, plexiglass tube or plastic cylinder tube — in both extruded and cast grades. Available off the shelf or cut to size at our Gold Coast workshop, with same-day cutting on stock sizes.
Extruded clear acrylic tube is the cost-effective choice for indoor displays, retail fixtures, lighting diffusers, brochure holders, candle holders and prop fabrication. Cast clear acrylic tube has superior optical clarity, is UV stable for outdoor and aquarium use, and can be solvent-bonded or machined without crazing.
