Any hardware shop.
Acrylic crack easily.
What is your purpose?
You can go for PVC or polycarbonate
They are clear also but more durable

U may try Dama, they do have some acrylic type cylinder. Call them up first at www.dama.com.sg

But if the diameter is not too big like onli 20mm, u may get it from most lfs like c328.

Actually PVC or polycarbonate will do too, but I can't find clear ones in hardware shops.

The purpose is I want to make a denitrator with it and then cover it up with a 'jacket' so it will be a dark environment for the bb, but can remove to check on the state of the media when needed.

If you know regular hardware supplier you can get them to source for you.
I use 6 inch polycarbonate clear tube before.
Not cheap also but cheaper than acrylic

If you can get a PVC type cylinder of your size (it's cheaper than acrylic), you may consider using it. Based on what you described on your application, you may try to cut a slot or drilled some holes on it; then paste a transparent plastic sheet (like those plastic file cover material) inside so that you can view the going on inside.
