Description
The Premium Extruded Black Rod made from PE1000 (UHMWPE) is an exceptional material known for its high performance. This rod exhibits remarkable characteristics such as high chemical resistance, very high impact strength, and extremely low moisture absorption. With a long-term service temperature range from -250°C to 80°C and a short-term maximum service temperature of 130°C, this rod is ideal for a variety of applications.
PE1000 (UHMWPE) rods are particularly suited for environments that require dimensional stability in humid conditions, thanks to a water absorption factor of less than 0.01g/cm³. Common applications for this versatile rod include construction, drinking and wastewater technology, and the bottling and food industries. Its durability makes it suitable for processes such as billeting, precision grinding, and CNC turning.
