Röhm PLEXIGLAS® XT (0A070) Acrylic Rods and Tubes  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acrylic (PMMA)

Material Notes: Product PLEXIGLAS® XT rods and tubes are the clearest extruded tubes on the market today delivering brilliant quality, superior performance, and durability. PLEXIGLAS® XT rods and tubes are characterized by their flawless optics, and perfectly smooth surface free of striations. White or frosted satin surface finishes provide excellent diffused light creating a velvety nonglare surface. High-quality, design-orientated applications within the architectural lighting industry can be easily created. (for information see PLEXIGLAS® Satinice.). Create impressive lighting effects by end lighting our PLEXIGLAS® LED (EndLighten T) rods. Colored extruded PLEXIGLAS® XT rods and tubes are also available and if additional impact strength is required they can be produced with our acrylic impact modified polymer. You will find more detailed information in the Sales Handbook. PLEXIGLAS® GS tubes are produced in the cast rotation process. Cast rods and square rods are made of casted semi-finished products. All cast forms have polished surfaces.
