FAQs
What length do you supply?
All HDPE rods are supplied in standard 1,000 mm (1 m) lengths.
Do you cut to size or fabricate HDPE rods?
No. We supply standard 1 m rods only and do not offer cutting or fabrication services for rods.
What diameters are available?
Ø20–Ø300 mm depending on stock; select a diameter from the product options above.
Is black HDPE suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — black HDPE is suitable for outdoor/UV exposure applications.
Is black HDPE food-safe?
Black HDPE is generally not used for food contact. Choose Natural/White HDPE for food applications.
What is HDPE rod commonly used for?
Bushings, spacers, wear components, marine parts, guards, and general low-friction machined parts.
Can I glue HDPE rod?
Most adhesives do not bond well. Use mechanical fasteners or plastic welding; specialty primers/adhesives may work in non-critical applications.
Can I machine HDPE rod on a standard lathe?
Yes — use sharp, positive-rake tools, avoid heat build-up, and allow for thermal expansion.
