HDPE Round Rod - Translucent White, 110mm Diameter x 1000mm Long (PE500 Grade A)
This precision-cut HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) round rod is manufactured to Grade A PE500 standard — one of the most versatile and eco-friendly engineering plastics available. With excellent wear resistance, low friction, and outstanding chemical resistance, it's a go-to material for machining, fabrication, and industrial applications.
HDPE is the most environmentally stable of all plastics, producing no harmful fumes and requiring significantly less energy to manufacture than steel — making it a genuinely sustainable choice for engineers and fabricators.
Key Benefits
- Excellent wear resistance – ideal for parts subject to friction and movement
- Low friction surface – widely used in food processing, bearings, and guides
- High chemical resistance – resistant to washing soda, hot water, and most chemicals
- Easy to machine – cut, drill, mill, or turn with standard tools
- Eco-friendly & halogen-free – no harmful fumes, sustainable production
- Non-absorbent – water absorption at saturation <0.05%, suitable for wet environments
