PE Solid Round Rods

Material Types

• PE-HD (High-Density Polyethylene) Solid Rods
  • Characteristics: High density, excellent strength and rigidity, good chemical resistance, wear resistance, and food-safe properties.
  • Applications: Widely used in the chemical industry, container construction, wear parts, and food processing.
  • Operating Temperature: Suitable for temperatures ranging from -50°C to +80°C.
• PE-UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Solid Rods
  • Characteristics: Exceptional wear and impact resistance, self-lubricating, low friction, and good chemical resistance.
  • Applications: Ideal for conveyor systems, slide rails, transport systems, wear plates, and food industry components.
  • Operating Temperature: Suitable for temperatures up to +90°C.
• PE-ELS (Electrostatically Dissipative Polyethylene) Solid Rods
  • Characteristics: Formulated to dissipate electrostatic charges, good chemical resistance, and food-safe in some formulations.
  • Applications: Used in electronic manufacturing, explosion-hazardous areas, and laboratories where electrostatic discharges must be avoided.

Common Features

• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and hot water.
• Electrical Properties: Good electrical insulation.
• Mechanical Properties: High toughness, low density, and excellent impact strength even at low temperatures.
• Food Safety: Many PE solid rods are approved for food use according to regulations like FDA and (EC) 1935/2004.
• Processing: Easy to weld and machine.

Specifications

• Diameter Range: Typically available in diameters from a few millimeters up to several hundred millimeters.
• Length: Standard lengths vary, but custom lengths can be requested.
