Description

Natural PET Plastic Rod 20mm Diameter

Natural PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Rod is a reliable engineering plastic designed for manufacturing precision parts that require strength, stability and smooth movement. Its low-friction surface supports efficient operation in moving assemblies, while its resistance to gradual deformation helps maintain component accuracy under sustained loads. Suitable for temperatures between -20°C and +115°C, PET is also available in food-compliant grades for appropriate applications.

This 20mm natural PET rod is suitable for mechanical engineering and component manufacturing. Typical uses include rollers, conveyor equipment, gears, cams and heavily loaded bearings. It is also used in selected medical industry applications where the material grade meets the required specifications.

Its combination of strength, low friction and dimensional stability makes it a practical choice for precision-engineered plastic components.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Strong Construction: High tensile strength supports demanding mechanical applications.
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Maintains its shape and size during use, with greater dimensional stability than acetal.
  • Low-Friction Surface: Helps reduce friction between contacting components.
  • Resistance to Creep: Minimises gradual changes in shape under continuous pressure.
  • Acid Resistance: Offers better resistance to acids than nylon and acetal.
  • Radiation Tolerance: Provides resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation.
  • Temperature Range: Suitable for operating conditions from -20°C to +115°C.
  • Food Compliance: Can be used in suitable food-related applications when the specific material grade meets applicable requirements.
