HDPE Round Rod - Translucent White 80mm Diameter x 300mm Long, Grade A PE500

HDPE Round Rod – 80mm Diameter x 300mm | Grade A PE500

This Grade A PE500 HDPE Round Rod delivers outstanding wear resistance, low friction, and high chemical resistance — making it one of the most versatile engineering plastics available. Ideal for food-contact applications, industrial machining, and general fabrication, HDPE is also one of the most eco-friendly plastics on the market: it produces no harmful fumes and requires a fraction of the energy to manufacture compared to steel.

Key Benefits

• Excellent wear resistance – ideal for bushings, guides, and wear pads
• Low friction surface – widely used in food processing and conveyor applications
• High chemical resistance – resistant to washing soda, hot water, and most industrial chemicals
• High strength and rigidity – tensile strength at yield 25 MPa
• Halogen-free – safe for people and the environment
• Eco-friendly – no harmful fumes, low energy manufacturing
