What is HDPE Rod?
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Rod is a thermoplastic made from petroleum. It is known for its high strength-to-density ratio, lightweight properties, and exceptional chemical resistance. Available in various diameters and lengths, HDPE rods are widely used in CNC machining, fabrication, and component manufacturing across industries.
Key Features of HDPE Rods
High Impact Strength
HDPE rods are exceptionally tough and can withstand high impact without breaking or cracking.
Excellent Chemical Resistance
Resistant to a wide range of acids, alkalis, and solvents—ideal for chemical tanks and processing components.
Low Moisture Absorption
Provides superior performance in humid or wet environments, making it suitable for water treatment applications.
Food-Grade Availability
Safe for use in food contact applications when manufactured from FDA-approved materials.
UV and Weather Resistant
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, especially when UV-stabilized variants are used.
Machinable and Fabrication Friendly
Easily cut, welded, or machined into custom shapes for various industrial needs.
