Usa Industrials BULK-PS-CAC-253 Cast Acrylic Bar 1x3x48

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-CAC-253 is a cast acrylic plastic bar measuring 1 inch thick, 3 inches wide, and 48 inches long. Cast acrylic differs from extruded acrylic in its superior optical clarity and tighter dimensional tolerances, making it well-suited for applications where transparency and structural integrity both matter. The bar weighs 6.19 pounds and ships as a single piece. Cast acrylic is moisture resistant and machines cleanly with standard shop equipment, holding edges and threads better than many extruded alternatives. Fabricators and trades workers use this material when a rigid, clear plastic stock is needed for custom components.

This bar stock is commonly used in fabrication shops, HVAC and plumbing service environments, and industrial settings where clear, machinable plastic is required. Typical applications include sight windows, small tank panels, guards, and custom spacers or standoffs. The 48-inch length provides enough stock for multiple cuts on most bench or table saws equipped with appropriate non-ferrous or plastic-cutting blades. It is sold as a single bar per unit.

Key Features

• Optically clear cast acrylic construction for high-visibility applications
• Moisture resistant material suitable for wet or humid environments
• Machines well for drilling, cutting, routing, and tapping
• Consistent 1 inch thickness across the full 48-inch length
• Single-piece bar stock sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cast acrylic bar stock for fabrication, repair, and custom component manufacturing across trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by experienced fabricators using blades or bits rated for plastics to prevent chipping or crazing. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the bar firmly before cutting. Avoid exposing cut edges to solvents that can cause stress cracking unless the solvent is specifically rated for acrylic bonding. Follow applicable shop safety practices when working with plastic stock.
