Sold per meter
Polycarbonate Tubes offer brilliant quality, superior performance, and durability as the clearest extruded tubes on the market today. Polycarbonate Tubes are described by their perfect optics and a striation-free surface that is perfectly smooth.
Polycarbonate Tubes are reasonable UV stable and weatherproof but are not designed for long-term outdoor applications. They will yellow if they are outside for a long period.
Polycarbonate Tubes can be cut, sanded, drilled etc. with the appropriate tools. They require high cutting speeds and effective cooling as their low heat conduction can easily lead to overheating and local thermal stress.
Excess friction, especially with Polycarbonate Tubes can cause melting which leads to a tacky surface and difficulty machining. Drilling should never be performed without using some water-based cooling lubricant (i.e. an emulsion). For eliminating internal stress annealing may be necessary.
