This 15mm Acrylic Bubble Rod is a strong, rigid material ideal for classroom prototyping and practical D&T activities. The clear acrylic contains evenly spaced air bubbles, creating a distinctive visual effect that makes it suitable for decorative, lighting, or display-focused projects. The solid profile provides excellent structural stability, making it easy for students to cut, shape, and incorporate into more substantial models and mechanisms.
Acrylic rod provides reliable performance across a wide range of environments. It resists UV light and general weathering, has low thermal expansion, and maintains good impact strength. Its excellent chemical resistance also makes it suitable for use in corrosive or demanding settings, giving students a material that behaves consistently during testing and prototyping.
This rod is supplied in a nominal 495mm length, providing ample material for multiple design iterations or small group work. Suitable for classroom design projects, STEM/STEAM clubs, and rapid prototyping tasks.

John Warton –
These rods had a good quality finish, no visible scratches of defects and ends polished perpendicular to rod. Good distribution of bubbles through the rod with a good selection of bubble sizes. Great pricing and quick dispatch.
