Description

Properties
Probably the most important asset of HDPE Rod is its very low coefficient of friction which results in a free flowing bearing or any sliding components. Another advantage of HDPE Rod is its resistance to abrasion and because of this exceptional advantage within the engineering plastics range means that HDPE Rod is often specified in applications where highly abrasive products such as sand, gravel, grit or simular are present. Another important advantage of HDPE Rod is the fact that it is one of the most economical engineering plastics that can offer significant cost advantages over other engineering plastics.

 Applications
Because of its low coefficient of friction High Denisty Polyethylene Rod is often used for bearings, pulleys, bushes and low stress gears. HDPE Rod is often chosen within the water industry and also the food industry, this is because it has low moisture absorption and high performance where water and most chemicals are involved.
