16mm Acrylic Tube 2mm Wall

This 16mm Acrylic Tube (2mm wall) is lightweight and durable, making it ideal for classroom prototyping and practical D&T activities. Its clear finish makes it suitable for projects where visibility, aesthetics, or light transmission matter, while the thicker wall provides added strength for more demanding models and mechanisms.

Acrylic tube offers a strong yet lightweight option for classroom projects, with material properties that make it reliable in a wide range of environments. It resists UV light and general weathering, has low thermal expansion, and maintains good impact strength. Its excellent chemical resistance also makes it suitable for use in corrosive or demanding settings, giving students a material that performs consistently during testing and prototyping.

This tube is supplied in a nominal 495mm length, giving students ample material for multiple design iterations or small group work. Suitable for classroom design projects, STEM/STEAM clubs, and rapid prototyping tasks.

Features:

• Lightweight acrylic tube ideal for modelling, structures, and mechanisms.
