HDPE Rods and Sheets

Description

HDPE Rod, or High Density Polyethylene Rod, is a lightweight, strong, and impact-resistant engineering plastic that’s used in a variety of applications:

• Properties: HDPE Rod is lightweight, has good chemical resistance, and is low in moisture absorption. It has high impact strength even at low temperatures, and is non-toxic and non-staining.
• Uses: HDPE Rod is used in automotive, leisure, and industrial applications, and is particularly suitable for the fabrication of tanks, silos, and hoppers. It’s also ideal for food handling, water piping, and marine applications.
• Certifications: Most HDPE Rods are FDA approved for food processing.
• Machining: HDPE Rod is easily welded and machined.
• Temperature: HDPE Rod has a limited working temperature of +90ºC
• Strength: HDPE rods are strong and have high tensile strength.
• Impact resistance: HDPE rods are impact resistant.
• Weight: HDPE rods are lightweight.
• Moisture absorption: HDPE rods absorb low amounts of moisture.
• Non-toxic: HDPE rods are non-toxic and non-staining.
• Food safe: HDPE rods meet FDA and USDA certification for food processing.
• Weldable: HDPE is easy to weld using thermoplastic welding equipment.
• Recyclable: HDPE is 100% recyclable.
• Opaque: HDPE is an opaque and colorless material.
• Temperature capabilities: HDPE has a continuous temperature of -50°C to +60°C.
• Melting point: HDPE has a melting point of 120-140°C.

Density: HDPE has a density of 0.93 to 0.97 g/cm3
