UHMWPE Rod – Polyethylene Plastic Rod | 15mm–50mm Sizes

UHMWPE Rod – High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Plastic Rod for CNC Machining and Industrial Use

Looking for a high-performance plastic rod that withstands wear, friction, and impact? Our UHMWPE rod (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is designed for demanding environments where durability and self-lubrication are essential. Available in a range of diameters from 15mm to 50mm (0.59" to 1.97") with a fixed length of 500mm (19.7"), these rods are ideal for CNC machining, fabrication, and industrial engineering needs.

Engineered for Performance and Built to Last

Crafted from premium-grade UHMWPE, these polyethylene rods offer exceptional resistance to abrasion, low coefficient of friction, and superior impact toughness. Whether you’re producing custom bushings, wear pads, or food-grade components, this material performs in harsh environments and reduces maintenance cycles.

Each rod is individually packed, ensuring consistent quality and sizing across your production batches.
