Opal-white acrylglas tubes

Frosted glass tubes are becoming an increasingly popular product. They can be made from extruded Plexiglass® or cast Plexiglass®. It depends on where the frosted glass tube is used. The properties of the frosted glass tube will also depend on the production technology. In the case of using extruded Plexiglass®, a frosted glass tube will be cheaper but not as durable. This form of production is effective when we need a larger number of such tubes because extrusion ensures better product repeatability. On the other hand, a cast frosted glass tube will have properties that allow it to be used under stricter conditions. It has a higher operating temperature and is more scratch-resistant. Unfortunately, due to the manufacturing process, which is more time-consuming and less automated, it is a more expensive product. However, if we need a durable product for outdoor use, we opt for this type.

A frosted glass tube and Plexiglass® in frosted finish are used in the construction sector. They are excellent as panel elements that cannot or should not be transparent. Frosted glass tubes combined with Plexiglass® in frosted finish will be an excellent product to replace glass in shower cabins or partition walls for toilets. This is especially true in public facilities with a high risk of damage (e.g., sports facilities). Plexiglass® is tensile and pressure resistant. It can be safely used up to a temperature of 70–80 °C. Atmospheric influences such as hail and snow, as well as UV radiation harmful to humans, cannot harm it. It is not damaged outdoors. Manufacturers can make any shapes and letters from Plexiglass® and easily prepare custom-sized sheets. The most common limitation is the customers' imagination.
