Description
Natural PET Plastic Rod 25mm Diameter
Natural PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Rod is a hard-wearing engineering plastic developed for precision components that require rigidity, smooth operation and reliable dimensional performance. Its low-friction surface makes it suitable for moving parts, while its low thermal expansion and minimal moisture-related swelling help maintain dimensional accuracy in changing conditions.
Common applications include mechanical engineering, conveyor systems, rollers, gears, cams and heavily loaded bearings. It can also be used in selected medical industry applications where material specifications are appropriate. Natural PET Rod is a practical choice for precision-machined parts requiring hardness, low friction and dimensional stability.
Key Features and Benefits
- Diameter: 25mm
- High Rigidity: Offers strong resistance to bending and deformation under mechanical loads.
- Smooth Surface Performance: Naturally slippery characteristics help minimise friction between contacting parts.
- Dimensional Precision: Low thermal expansion supports consistent measurements across temperature changes.
- Low Moisture Absorption: Helps reduce size variations caused by humidity and moisture exposure.
- Machinability: Can be machined into accurate components and is known for machining performance comparable to acetal.
- Mechanical Strength: Suitable for parts exposed to demanding operating conditions.
- Temperature Resistance: Performs within a working temperature range of -20°C to +115°C.
- Chemical Resistance: Provides better resistance to acids than nylon and acetal.
- Radiation Resistance: Offers resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation.
- Food Compliance: Suitable for relevant food-contact uses when the specific grade meets applicable requirements.
