Generally divided into: PE rods, polyethylene rods, HDPE rods, PE rods
Product name: PE rod: English name High Density Polyethylene , Chinese: polyethylene rod. PE rod is a highly crystalline, non-polar thermoplastic material. The appearance of the original state HDPE is milky white, in the micro-thin cross-section of a certain degree of translucency.
PE sheet has excellent resistance to most household and industrial chemicals. Some types of chemicals are chemically corrosive, such as corrosive oxidizers (concentrated nitric acid), aromatic hydrocarbons (xylene) and halogenated hydrocarbons (carbon tetrachloride). The polymer is non-hygroscopic and has good water and vapor resistance for packaging applications.HDPE has very good electrical properties, particularly high dielectric strength, making it well suited for wire and cable. Medium to high molecular weight grades have excellent impact resistance at room temperature and even at temperatures as low as -40F. The unique properties of the various grades of HDPE are an appropriate combination of four basic variables: density, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and additives. Different catalysts are used to produce customized polymers with specific properties. These variables are combined to produce HDPE grades for different applications; an optimal balance of properties. Good chemical stability and resistance to most acids, bases, organic solutions and hot water. Good electrical insulation.

Main Features
PE rods are odorless, non-toxic, feel like wax, have excellent low-temperature resistance (the lowest use temperature up to -70 ~ -100 ℃), good chemical stability, resistant to most acids and alkalis (not resistant to the oxidizing nature of the acid), insoluble in general solvents at room temperature, small water absorption, excellent electrical insulation properties; low density; good toughness (also applies to low-temperature conditions); tensile good; electrical and dielectric insulation Good; low water absorption; low water vapor permeability; good chemical stability; tensile; non-toxic and harmless.
However, PE sheet is sensitive to environmental stresses (chemical and mechanical) and has poor heat aging resistance.
Product Applications
Medical appliance parts, seals, cutting boards, sliding profiles. Widely used in machinery, chemical industry, electric power, clothing, packaging, food and other industries. Widely used in gas transportation, water supply, sewage, agricultural irrigation, mine fine particle solids transportation, as well as oil fields, chemical industry and post and telecommunications communications and other fields, especially in gas transportation has been commonly used.
