Properties of opal acrylic tubes
Opal acrylic tubes are made from extruded acrylic (PMMA) and have a high-gloss finish.
These tubes are widely used in the lighting industry because they diffuse light evenly.
The opal tube has a light transmission of approximately 34%. Are you looking for a tube with a higher light transmission,
then you can choose light opal tubes with a satin finish. All tubes can be ordered in full lengths of 2 metres.
Applications of the acrylic pipe opal
Acrylic, also known as Plexiglas or Perspex®, is suitable for a wide range of applications. Examples include:
- Interior design and designer lighting
- Product presentations and displays
- Decorative pillars and columns
- Ponds, water features and bubble tubes
- Stand and exhibition construction
The tubes are available in clear, satin and opal finishes.
For transparent versions, you can also use our Transparent acrylic tubes XT View. This makes it easy to choose the tube that best suits your application.
Satin or opal – what’s the difference?
The main difference between satin and opal lies in the way they diffuse light and their appearance. Satin tubes diffuse light most evenly,
especially when combined with LED lighting. Opal is also attractive with LED, but has slightly less diffusion and is always more glossy
than satin. For a soft, matt finish, choose satin; for a sleek, glossy finish, choose opal.
How can you work with plexiglass tubing?
The tubes can be easily worked using standard tools suitable for metalworking.
Possible operations include:
- Sawing
- Sanding and polishing
- Milling
- Drilling
- Bonding with special acrylic adhesives
You can find more general information about acrylic (PMMA) at Wikipedia.
Applications of Opal XT acrylic tubes
Opal XT acrylic tubes are widely used in stand and exhibition construction, in furniture and interior design, and in technical applications
such as reactors and bubble columns (bubble tubes). If required, we can seal the tubes using special acrylic adhesive.
The tubes are reasonably UV-stable, but are not designed for long-term outdoor use; some yellowing may occur over time.
You can combine these tubes with other products from our range, such as
plexiglass sheets or other plastic sheets, for a complete lighting or interior design solution.
