Machinable Polyethylene Rods for Industrial & Custom Applications

Polyethylene Rod (PE Rod)

FEATURES

1.Chemical Resistance—Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive chemicals.

2.Low Friction & Wear Resistance—Smooth surface with self-lubricating properties, reducing wear in moving parts.

3.Impact Resistance—High toughness, even at low temperatures, making it shatterproof.

4.Lightweight—Low density (0.92~0.97 g/cm³), easier to handle than metals.

5.Electrical Insulation—Good dielectric properties, suitable for electrical applications.

6.Moisture Resistance—Impermeable to water and resistant to humidity.

7.Machinability—Easy to cut, drill, or mill (though softer than engineering plastics like nylon).

8.Temperature Limits—Typically usable from -30°C to +80°C .

Q&A

Q

What types of PE rods do you offer?

We provide both LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) rods in various diameters, lengths, and colors including natural, white, black, and blue. LDPE is flexible and lightweight, while HDPE is more rigid and durable.

Q

What are the typical applications of PE rods?

PE rods are widely used in:

Industrial Components: Gears, bushings, bearings, rollers, wear strips

Chemical Industry: Tank liners, piping components, corrosion-resistant parts

Food Processing: Conveyor guides, cutting boards, FDA-compliant containers

Mechanical Applications: Spacers, shafts, structural supports

Q

Can PE rods be machined or fabricated?

Yes. PE rods are easy to cut, drill, mill, and turn, and they can also be heat-welded or thermoformed for custom assemblies. They provide smooth surfaces and maintain dimensional stability during machining.

Q

What is the temperature range for PE rods?

PE rods generally withstand -40°C to +80°C for continuous use, depending on the type. HDPE has higher dimensional stability and can handle slightly higher temperatures than LDPE.

Q

Are your PE rods food-safe or chemical-resistant?

Yes. Certain grades of PE rods are FDA-compliant for food contact and highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, and corrosion, making them ideal for food processing and chemical industry applications.

Q

What sizes and colors are available?

Standard diameters range from 10 mm to 400 mm, with lengths typically 1meters. Colors include natural, white, black, and blue, and custom sizes or colors can be arranged for bulk orders.

Q

What surface finishes are available for PE rods?

PE rods are available in smooth, matte, or textured finishes to meet different functional and aesthetic requirements. Smooth rods are ideal for sliding or low-friction applications, matte rods reduce glare, and textured rods improve grip or wear resistance.

Q

How long is the delivery time for PE rods?

Delivery times depend on quantity and specifications but typically range from 7 to 20 business days for standard sizes. Custom orders may take longer.
