Polycarbonate Tube

Polycarbonate tube is a tough, impact-resistant plastic with excellent clarity and strength. It is far stronger than acrylic while still offering good light transmission, making it suitable for applications where durability is critical. Polycarbonate has good temperature resistance and is easy to cut and machine.

Commonly used for guards, protective covers, industrial components, and structural applications where high impact resistance is required.

High Impact Strength
Clear, tough, and dimensionally stable

Higher Heat Resistance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is polycarbonate tube used for?

Polycarbonate tube is used where high impact resistance, transparency, and durability are required. Common applications include machine guards, safety covers, sight tubes, protective enclosures, lighting components, and industrial viewing windows.

How strong is polycarbonate tube?

Polycarbonate tube is extremely impact-resistant and significantly stronger than acrylic tube. It is very difficult to crack or shatter, making it suitable for safety-critical and high-impact environments.

Can polycarbonate tube be cut and machined?

Yes. Polycarbonate tube can be cut, drilled, and machined using standard tools. Correct cutting speeds, sharp tools, and proper support are important to avoid melting or stress cracking.

Is polycarbonate tube suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, provided it is UV-stabilised. UV-protected polycarbonate tube resists yellowing and loss of strength when exposed to sunlight. Always confirm UV protection for outdoor applications.

What sizes are available for polycarbonate tube?

Polycarbonate tube is available in a range of diameters and wall thicknesses. Standard lengths vary by supplier, and cut-to-length options are typically available depending on stock availability.
