Acrylic Glass XT Square Rod, Colourless & High-Clarity

These extruded (XT) acrylic square rods offer exceptional optical clarity and a high-gloss finish, making them a staple for professionals in architectural modelling and product design. Combining the rigidity of a solid square profile with the superior light-conducting properties of PMMA, these rods are ideal for creating sleek structural elements, contemporary detailing, or sophisticated lighting effects.

Applications:

• Architectural Model Making: Perfect for representing contemporary glass columns, curtain wall mullions, or structural framework in high-end scale models. The square profile allows for neat, flush joints and stable bonding surfaces when constructing complex geometric forms.
• Film & TV Prop Making: Often utilised to create futuristic set details, scientific equipment mock-ups, or "invisible" structural supports for floating props. Their high-clarity finish ensures they catch and refract studio lighting with professional brilliance.
• Industrial Prototyping: A reliable material for early-stage product development, particularly for point-of-sale displays, furniture prototypes, and lighting housings. The square section provides a stable flat surface for mounting or laminating additional components.
• Lighting Design: Due to its excellent light-transmission properties, these rods can be used as linear light-pipes or decorative diffusers in bespoke luminaire prototypes and illuminated architectural features.

Key Features:

• Extruded (XT) Quality: Manufactured to high industrial standards, ensuring consistent dimensions and high-gloss surfaces along the full length of the rod.
• Technical Edge Detail: Due to the extrusion process, these square rods feature slightly rounded corners rather than razor-sharp edges. This provides a softer tactile feel and significantly reduces the risk of chipping during handling and processing.
• Exceptional Optical Brilliance: Perfectly colourless and transparent, allowing for maximum light transmission and a professional, "water-clear" aesthetic.
• Versatile Workability: Can be sawn, drilled, and milled with ease. Surfaces can be polished back to a high gloss using specialised acrylic polishing pastes if minor abrasions occur during workshop processing.
