Click here to buy HDPE Rod. HDPE is an engineering plastic also known as High Density PolyEthylene. This particular plastic does have a combination of advantages over other engineering plastics to make HDPE Rod an important material.

HDPE Rod Features:
Although there are many important features about HDPE Rod, one of the more important ones is it's low friction and the ability of HDPE Rod to produce products or components that are free running with very low levels of friction. Another important feature of HDPE Rod is its excellent resistance to high levels of abrasion, this is an asset that HDPE Rod excels at and few other engineering plastics can match, this makes the plastic ideal where highly abrasive materials such as sand or gravel are present. Natural grade HDPE Rod is also food contact compatible.

HDPE Rod Applications:
HDPE Rod is particularly good for products or components such as pulleys, bearings and rollers, this is due to its excellent low friction and free running nature along with its good wear resistance which will make these components outlast some other plastics. Other applications for HDPE Rod would include area's such as sand and gravel environments where high abrasion resistance is important. Because the natural grade of HDPE Rod is F.D.A food safe approved, it is commonly used in food production companies as rollers or guides as the high levels of use that these components are expected to endure will suit the abilities of HDPE Rod.
