Description
PE rod (also known as polyethylene rod or HDPE rod) is produced from a thermoplastic base granulate. PE rod is suitable for applications where the plastic used does not have to meet heavy requirements. PE polyethylene rod has a relatively low melting temperature and therefore cannot be used in very hot environments. HDPE rod in the black colour is perfect for outdoor use. If you are looking for rigid plastic rod, you would be better off switching to, for example PVC staff, POM staff or Nylon staff. PE rod is available in white and black colour. Standard trade lengths are 2 metres.
PE polyethylene rod is a technical material that is extruded. In addition, the material has no foil or other protection around it. PE rod is therefore less suitable for optical applications, because damage can always occur due to handling or storage of the rod material.
Processing of PE HD rod
PE HD staf laat zich goed verspanend bewerken. Bij boren, draaien, zagen en frezen is het belangrijk gebruik te maken van scherp gereedschap. Bij bot gereedschap, bijvoorbeeld het afkorten van PE staf met een botte zaag, zal het materaal gaan vezelen. Daar het materiaal taai is, laten deze vezels/spaantjes zich ook lastig verwijderen. HDPE staf laat zich prima lassen met bijvoorbeeld PE plaat. PE staf is NIET te lijmen. Voor overige vragen over het toepassen of verwerken, of het maken van de juiste materiaalkeuze kunt u altijd contact opnemen.
