JINBAO High Transparency Clear Acrylic Tubes offer the brilliance of crystal with the durability of plastic. Achieving 94% light transmission, these "Plastic Crystal" tubes are perfect for LED lighting, aquarium cylinders, and architectural displays. Available in Cast (machinable) and Extruded grades.
Clear Acrylic Tube
JINBAO
For lighting designers, aquarium builders, and retail display manufacturers, Jinan Jinbao Plastic Co., Ltd. presents our High Transparency Clear Acrylic Tube.
Renowned as "Plastic Crystal," our acrylic tubes are manufactured using 100% Virgin MMA monomer to achieve a light transmittance of 94%, superior to standard glass. Unlike extruded tubes that may show die lines, our Cast Acrylic Tubes offer perfect optical clarity and higher molecular density, making them easier to drill, polish, and machine without melting. Whether for a massive aquarium cylinder or delicate LED lighting fixtures, JINBAO provides the diameter and wall thickness you need.
Crystal Clarity: 94% light transmission ensures that LEDs and decorative elements inside the tube are visible without distortion or yellowing.
Seamless Construction: Cast tubes are seamless and stress-free, providing higher pressure resistance for pressurized applications like water columns.
Weather Resistant: Inherently UV stable; will not yellow, craze, or become brittle even after years of outdoor exposure.
High Gloss Surface: Polished to a mirror-like finish that resists dirt accumulation and is easy to clean.
Excellent Machinability: Cast grade allows for drilling, tapping, and CNC routing without the "gumming up" or melting issues common with extruded plastics.
Impact Strength: 10x stronger than glass tubing, making it a safer alternative for public displays and food-grade chutes.

Diamond Polishing: All cut ends can be diamond polished to restore optical clarity, ensuring your finished product looks premium from every angle.
Massive Diameter Range: We are one of the few factories capable of casting large diameter tubes (up to 1000mm) for architectural projects.
Safe Packaging: Tubes are individually wrapped in PE film and packed in custom wooden crates or heavy-duty cartons to prevent scratching or crushing during transit.
Q: What is the difference between Cast and Extruded tubes?
A: Cast Tubes are seamless, optically clearer, and better for machining (drilling/polishing). Extruded Tubes are cheaper and have more consistent wall thickness but may show faint extrusion lines.
Q: Can you cut tubes to specific lengths?
A: Yes. Our standard length is 2 meters, but we offer precision cutting services to deliver tubes ready for your assembly line (e.g., 500mm pieces).
Q: Is it suitable for holding water?
A: Yes, Cast Acrylic Tubes are excellent for water columns and aquariums. For high-pressure applications, please consult our engineers to determine the required wall thickness.
Q: Does it turn yellow?
A: No. JINBAO uses virgin raw material with UV stabilizers. We guarantee our clear tubes will not visibly yellow for 10 years outdoors.
