Customized Clear Acrylic Rod (Solid Plexiglass Cylinder)
Introduction
For luxury furniture manufacturers and interior architects, Jinan Jinbao Plastic Co., Ltd. presents our Solid Clear Acrylic Rod.
Unlike hollow tubes, these are solid cylinders of pure PMMA. JINBAO specializes in Cast Acrylic Rods which are polymerized in vertical molds to ensure a dense, bubble-free structure with 93% light transmission. This makes them clearer than glass and easily machinable—allowing you to drill, tap, and turn them on a lathe to create crystal-like furniture legs, door handles, and stair balusters without stress cracking.

Key Features
Diamond Clarity: Achieving the same optical transparency as fiber optics, our rods transmit light from end to end, making them perfect for illuminated handrails.
Bubble-Free Casting: Our slow-cure casting process eliminates internal air bubbles, ensuring a flawless solid look even in large diameters (up to 200mm).
Machinable Grade: Cast acrylic is hard and rigid, allowing for precise CNC machining, threading, and diamond polishing to a high gloss.
High Load Bearing: Exceptional compressive strength makes large-diameter rods suitable for structural furniture legs and heavy display supports.
UV Resistant: Inherently stable against yellowing; suitable for outdoor curtain rods, deck railings, and marine hardware.
Safe & Durable: 10x more impact-resistant than glass rods, preventing dangerous breakage in high-traffic areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between Cast and Extruded rods?
A: Cast Rods are optically clearer, easier to machine/polish, and available in larger diameters. Extruded Rods are cheaper but may melt if machined too fast and are limited to smaller diameters (<50mm).
Q: Can you drill holes in the ends?
A: Yes. Cast rods are excellent for drilling and tapping threads. We can pre-drill mounting holes for you.
Q: How strong is a 50mm acrylic rod?
A: A 50mm solid cast acrylic rod is extremely strong and can easily support the weight of a heavy dining table or sofa when used as legs.
Q: Does it scratch?
A: Like all acrylic, it can scratch. However, unlike plated metal, scratches on solid acrylic can be buffed out with polish to look new again.
