Polycast Clear Cast Acrylic Rods
High-clarity acrylic rods for structural and decorative use—machinable, durable, and ideal for custom fabrication.
TAP Plastics proudly offers Polycast® Clear Cast Acrylic Rods, made from high molecular weight acrylic for outstanding optical clarity, strength, and chemical resistance. These premium cast rods are ideal for demanding applications such as machining, display elements, handrails, lighting, and architectural components.
Why Choose Cast Acrylic Rods?
Cast acrylic has superior performance properties compared to extruded acrylic. The casting process eliminates internal stress, resulting in:
-
Better machining performance – ideal for drilling, tapping, milling, and turning without cracking or crazing.
-
Higher heat and chemical resistance – tolerates harsher environments and solvents.
-
Exceptional optical clarity – clearer and more uniform than extruded rods, with no extrusion lines.
Whether you're crafting custom furniture accents, point-of-sale displays, or architectural details, these rods provide professional-grade performance and appearance.
