Leading Clear and Colored Acrylic/Plexiglass Rods Manufacturer In China
Acrylic Rod Introduction
Acrylic Rod is an excellent plastic rod, manufactured by extrusion or casting process, which is also called as “plexiglass rod” or “lucite rod“. It is a common substitute of the glass rod as it is crystal clear, lighter weight, more shatter-resistant, and easy to be bonded, fabricated, formed or CNC turned. Otherwise, acrylic rods can be clear, colored, fluorescent, and custom colors. The cross-section could be round, triangle, square, hexagon, and custom shapes.
As a flexible plastic rod, the Acrylic rod offers 10 times of impact strength more than the equivalent glass rod but half weight. Meantime, it has superior chemical resistance, UV resistance, and weather ability, therefore, the acrylic rod is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, for example, staircase banister spindle, acrylic curtain rods, acrylic dowel, acrylic drapery rod, and acrylic furniture, etc.
UVPLASTIC is a leading manufacturer of acrylic/plexiglass rods in China, with more than 15 years of experience in this field, we provide standard acrylic rods with diameter from 10mm to 300mm. Normally, we have enough stock of standard rods for fast delivery. Meantime, we provide colored acrylic rods and custom acrylic rods, such as triangle, square, hexagon, or other custom shapes, the length can be customized. Otherwise, UVPLASTIC provides machining services according to clients’ requirements, for example, Cutting to Size, CNC turning, Bonding, Polishing Surface, Thread Tapping, etc.
