UHMW-PE Rod

UHMW-PE Rod is an excellent low friction engineering plastic that is outstanding for free running pulleys in many applications such as marine and other associated industries. Because UHMW-PE Rod is very abrasion resistant, it is suitable for the more aggressive environments such as grit and gravel. Natural grade UHMW-PE Rod is FDA approved which means it is safe with food contact applications. Colours are available in natural, black and green.
