PE Rod is odourless, non-toxic, feels like wax, and has excellent low-temperature resistance (withstanding environments from -70 to -100 °C). It delivers outstanding chemical stability, resisting most acids and alkalis (including those with oxidative characteristics). The material does not dissolve in standard solvents at normal temperatures, features extremely low water absorption, and possesses excellent electrical insulation properties. Characterized by low density and good toughness, it is ideal for low-temperature conditions, offering great stretchability, low water vapor permeability, and absolute physiological safety.
It is commonly machined into medical appliance parts, seals, cutting boards, and sliding profiles. The material is widely utilized in the chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, electric power, apparel, packaging, food handling, gas transmission, water supply, drainage, mining (for fine solid particle conveying), and telecommunications.
Widely applied as wear parts, transmission elements, home appliance parts, automotive components, machinery wire rods, and chemical equipment parts. Examples include turbines, gears, bearings, impellers, shafts, dashboards, drive shafts, valves, blades, high-pressure washers, screws, nuts, seals, shuttle bushings, and connectors.

Available Molecular Weights:
UHMWPE 1000 Rods feature exceptional impact strength, a low friction coefficient, excellent self-lubricating properties, and outstanding resistance to chemical corrosion. They also exhibit very high toughness, even in extreme low-temperature environments down to -100°C.
UHMW-PE has an extremely low water absorption rate of less than 0.01%, which is significantly lower than PA-66 (1.5%) and ABS (0.20-0.45%). This guarantees dimensional stability in highly humid or submerged applications.
