Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Acrylic Rods

Use these scratch- and UV-resistant acrylic rods and discs for sight windows, meter faces, and signs. They’re made of extruded acrylic, which is less expensive than cast acrylic with nearly the same performance. They’ll stand up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintain clarity over time.
