Polypropylene Rods are chemical and corrosion resistant plastic rods with high impact and stress resistance. Polypropylene rod has very low moisture absorption, meets food handling guidelines, and has better resistance to cracking at lower temperatures than other materials. Polypropylene is often used for low rigidity orthotic devices and applications that require chemical resistance or FDA compliance. Other applications include: machined parts, plating and anodizing process equipmen

 

HDPE rods are durable, versatile cylindrical plastic rods made from high-density polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer. They are known for their excellent chemical resistance, impact strength, and low moisture absorption, making them suitable for various industrial and commercial applications. Here's a more detailed look:Key Properties and Advantages:

• Durability:HDPE rods offer high impact resistance and are resistant to moisture, stains, and odors. 
• Chemical Resistance:They are resistant to many chemicals and corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments. 
• Low Moisture Absorption:HDPE rods absorb very little moisture, which helps maintain their dimensional stability. 
• Lightweight:They are lightweight, making them easy to handle and transport. 
• Machinability:HDPE rods are easy to machine, cut, weld, and thermoform. 
• FDA Approval:Many grades of HDPE are approved for food contact, making them suitable for food processing equipment and food handling applications. 
• Non-toxic and Non-staining:HDPE is non-toxic and does not stain, making it suitable for applications where hygiene and cleanliness are important. 
• Low Friction:They have a low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for wear parts and bearings. 

Common Applications:

• Wear Strips: HDPE rods are used for wear strips, guide rails, and neck guides due to their durability and resistance to abrasion. 
• Bearings, Pulleys, and Gears: They are used for bearings, pulleys, bushes, and low-stress gears. 
• Food Processing: HDPE rods are used in food processing equipment and cutting boards due to their resistance to chemicals and FDA approval. 
• Water Systems: They are used in water piping and marine applications due to their resistance to corrosion and low moisture absorption. 
• Industrial Applications: HDPE rods are used in various industrial applications, including automotive, construction, and packaging. 
• DIY Projects: Their versatility and machinability make them suitable for DIY projects.
