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.
