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.
Is Natural/White HDPE food-safe?
Yes—Natural/White HDPE is commonly used for food contact; confirm suitability for your specific application and regulatory requirements.
Does white HDPE have UV resistance?
White has limited UV resistance compared to black. For sustained outdoor UV exposure, choose Black HDPE Rod.
What diameters are available?
Ø20–Ø300 mm depending on stock; select a diameter from the product options above.
What is Natural HDPE rod commonly used for?
Cutting boards, food processing components, bushings, spacers, wear parts, and general machining.
Can I machine HDPE rod on a standard lathe?
Yes—use sharp, positive-rake tools, avoid heat build-up, and allow for thermal expansion.
Can I glue HDPE rod?
Adhesion is generally poor; use mechanical fasteners or plastic welding. Specialty primers/adhesives may help in non-critical applications.
