Customized Screw Thread Acrylic Tube (Spiral / Twisted Cylinder)
Introduction
For lighting designers and interior architects seeking a material that transforms ordinary light into a visual masterpiece, Jinan Jinbao Plastic Co., Ltd. introduces our Screw Thread Acrylic Tube.
Also known as Spiral or Twisted Tubing, this decorative cylinder features a helical groove pattern running along its length. Unlike smooth tubes, this textured surface catches and refracts LED light, creating a sparkling, diamond-like effect for chandeliers and luxury retail displays. JINBAO offers fully customizable "thread" pitch and depth to match your specific design aesthetic.

Key Features
Light Diffusion: The screw thread pattern acts as a prism, breaking up LED hotspots and creating a soft, continuous glow or a sparkling "crystal" effect depending on the light source.
Custom Textures: We can adjust the "pitch" (tightness of the spiral) and depth of the grooves—from subtle twisting lines to deep, aggressive screw threads.
High Transparency: Manufactured from 100% Virgin PMMA for 93% light transmission, ensuring the tube looks like crystal glass but is lighter and safer.
Seamless Finish: Produced using advanced extrusion or casting techniques to ensure the spiral pattern is continuous and uniform without visible seam lines.
Impact Resistant: 10x stronger than glass, making it the safe choice for hanging chandeliers and public installations where breakage is a risk.

Lighting Expertise: Our team understands LED diffusion. We can recommend the right combination of tube texture and frosting to hide LED tape lights while maximizing brightness.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can you make the spiral tighter or looser?
A: Yes. The "pitch" of the screw thread is customizable. A tighter pitch creates more sparkle; a looser pitch looks more like a gentle wave.
Q: Is the texture on the inside or outside?
A: Typically, the screw thread texture is on the outside for maximum tactile and visual effect. However, we can also produce tubes with internal ribbing (smooth outside) for easier cleaning.
Q: Can I use this for outdoor lighting?
A: Yes. Our acrylic is inherently UV stable. For outdoor bollards or facade lighting, we guarantee no yellowing for 10 years.
Q: Do you have a minimum order (MOQ)?
A: For custom screw thread tubes, the MOQ depends on the diameter. Generally, it is around 100-200 meters. Please contact us for a specific quote based on your size.
