Rods and Tubes
At TAP Plastics, we believe the possibilities of plastic are endless. That is why we proudly supply a vast selection of plastic rods, plastic tube products and other plastic shapes with varying degrees of tolerance. Acrylic, acetal and other types of plastic are popularly used in DIY projects and home improvement applications because they are durable and easy to customize. We also offer an assortment of plastic tubing that includes a wide range of carbon fiber, epoxy, polycarbonate and vinyl options to choose from.
Plastic tubes and rods won’t rust like metal or rot like wood, and they are frequently stronger yet lighter than glass. They are also one of the most affordable building and crafting materials available. With so many options, you are certain to find something with the right properties your project requires.
From flexible to rigid plastic tubing, from clear plastic tubes and rods to a variety of transparent and opaque colors, we have all your needs covered in our collection. We sell plastic rods and tubes from the leading manufacturers that can be sold in standard lengths or cut to size by our experts. Order a single plastic rod or stock up for major and ongoing projects. The experts at TAP Plastics are here to accommodate everyone who is looking for rod and tube plastics.
The Best Plastic Rod Stock
We offer many types of plastic rods to use for construction, DIY projects, crafts and hobbies, home decorations, unique lighting fixtures and much more. Our standard acrylic rods are available in many diameters and colors. Choose standard three-foot and six-foot lengths or specify a custom-cut plastic rod length. If you’re going to be machining, fabrication or polishing, clear cast rods offer the best results.
Need a specialty plastic pole? We supply crystal-clear corner molding to help you protect walls, extruded acrylic bars for Slatwall applications, and butyrate joining sections to connect two panels of plastic. Add style with bubble rods, spiral rods, frosted rods and half-round bars. We also have rods made of other materials, including fiberglass rods for marine applications and carbon fiber rods for the highest strength-to-weight ratio. Our plastic rods can be decorated, drilled, painted and sawed.
Plastic connector rods are in stock, too! Use H-profile acrylic bars, joiner channels and T-base plexiglass connectors to securely link plastic sheets together. They’re a must for building shelves, adding partitions, framing artwork and much more.
Do More with Tube Plastics
If you need hollowed-out plastic rather than a solid rod, browse our selection of plastic tubes and accessories. Plastic tubing is extraordinarily versatile, allowing you to guard fluorescent bulbs, mail posters and store documents with ease. Wherever there is a risk of breakage or exposure to moisture, you can find a high-quality tube to help you reduce that risk. Plastic tubes are also great for DIY projects such as making flower vases, creating golf ball holders or making bird feeders.
Like with our plastic rods, there are many plastic tubing sizes and materials. Use extruded clear acrylic tubes for affordable protection or clear cast tubes if you need something easier to machine. We have high-impact polycarbonate tubes, heat-resistant fiberglass epoxy tubes, lightweight carbon fiber tubes and many others. Shop for colored acrylic tubes to add style as well as plastic tubes specifically designed for packaging and lighting.
Both round and square tubing are available with large and small plastic tubes to choose from. You can get thin plastic tubing for light-duty applications and thick-wall tubing if you need it to withstand heavy impacts. Hard plastic tube products aren’t the only option, either — we also have flexible tubing for liquid transfers. Use our vinyl clamps and vinyl or polyethylene caps to secure the tubes and their contents.
