I want a clear plastic tube with sealable ends.?

Question

It needs to be a bit smaller than a pringle tube, min 2mm thickness bout 30cm length maybe 5cm diameter. I need to be able to seal both ends and its got to be sturdy not squashy and preferably shatter proof.

Ive seen mailing tubes and poster tubes even baseball bat tubes but there all either too big or come in packs I only need 3...can anyone help? P.s im in the U.K

Answer 1

In the U.S. we have a chain of stores called Tap Plastics who sell many types and shapes of, well, plastic.

Try a home improvement center. They may not have it there, but would know where to find it.

Answer 2

I have found you two suppliers of tubes, the second wall thickness isn't what you want but they are complete containers with caps. The first supplier supplies polycarbonate tubing in lengths and this is a very hard wearing clear plastic that you can cut to size with a normal hacksaw and then try and find end caps, or you can ask an engineering shop to turn six end caps for you and cut a groove in to fit an o-ring seal. The first option will be cheaper. Hard wearing isn't cheap.
