HDPE Rods
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) rods are cylindrical solid bars made from high-density polyethylene, a tough and versatile thermoplastic polymer. HDPE rods are valued for their excellent chemical resistance, durability, and ease of machining, making them suitable for various industrial and commercial applications.
Common Applications
- Machined Components: Ideal for bushings, bearings, and gears due to its low friction and high wear resistance.
- Chemical Industry: pUsed for pump components, seals, and valves due to its chemical inertness.
- Food Processing:Fabricated into cutting boards, rollers, and guides for food-safe environments.
- Marine Applications:Suitable for dock rollers, boat parts, and underwater components due to excellent water resistance.
- Industrial Equipment:Used in conveyor systems, spacers, and impact-resistant parts.
- Agriculture: Fabricated into irrigation components, rollers, and animal enclosure parts.
- Construction:Used as spacers, rods, or supports in heavy-duty applications.
- High Durability: Resistant to impact, wear, and heavy loads, ensuring long-term performance.
- Chemical Resistance:Withstands acids, alkalis, and most industrial chemicals.
- Waterproof: Non-porous and resistant to moisture, ideal for wet or submerged environments.
- Temperature Tolerance:Operates in temperatures ranging from -50°C to 80°C, with some grades handling higher temperatures.
- Lightweight:Easy to handle and install compared to metal alternatives.
- Low Friction:Smooth surface with a low coefficient of friction, reducing wear in moving parts.
- Non-Toxic:Food-safe and compliant with FDA and NSF standards for food and medical applications.
- Recyclable:Environmentally friendly and can be repurposed after use.
- Durability: Long-lasting material resistant to cracking, impact, and wear.
- Chemical Stability:Suitable for use in corrosive environments.
- Hygienic:Easy to clean and non-toxic, making it suitable for medical and food applications.
- Low Maintenance:Does not corrode, rust, or require frequent replacement.
- Machinability:Easily turned, drilled, and milled into custom shapes with standard tools.
