More About
Acrylic, also known by the trade name Perspex, is a thermoplastic polymer (PMMA – Polymethyl Methacrylate) that offers excellent optical clarity and superior weather resistance. Acrylic & Perspex Tubes are transparent plastic cylinders that serve as an alternative to glass, offering 50% less weight and 10x greater impact strength.
They are widely used for decorative, protective, and functional applications, such as display units, lighting covers, sight glasses, and laboratory tubing. At Petron Thermoplast LLC, we stock clear, frosted, and colored acrylic tubes in multiple diameters and wall thicknesses, suitable for both industrial and aesthetic purposes.
