General Engineering Plastic Rods:
1. Polyamide (PA, Nylon) Rod
Characteristics: Renowned for high strength and exceptional wear resistance, these rods are self-lubricating. However, due to strong moisture absorption, they require careful pre-drying before processing.
Application: Perfect for wear-resistant components like chemical machinery turbines, gears, and sliding guide plates, showcasing their durability and utility.
2. Polyoxymethylene (POM) Rod
Characteristics: Offering remarkable rigidity and resistance to creep, these rods maintain performance across a temperature range of -40 °C to 104 °C, with an impressively low friction coefficient of 58.
Application: Ideal for crafting lightweight automotive parts, precise textile machinery gears, and precision bearings, ensuring efficiency and longevity.
3. Polypropylene (PP) Rod
Features: With a low density of 0.9g/cm³, these rods are acid and alkali resistant, non-toxic, and meet stringent food-grade standards, making them versatile and safe.
Application: Widely used in food packaging containers, pharmaceutical equipment pipelines, and chemical anti-corrosion lining, showcasing their reliability and adaptability.
4. Polycarbonate (PC) Rod
Characteristics: Notably transparent with robust impact resistance, though they possess poor UV stability, requiring thoughtful application.
Application: Suitable for optical instrument components, bulletproof glass layers, and electronic equipment shells, offering strength and clarity.
5. Polyphenylene oxide (PPO) Rod
Features: Known for high dimensional stability and hydrolysis resistance, they offer excellent electrical insulation properties, making them indispensable.
Applications: Essential in medical devices, high-temperature connectors, and automotive sensor housings, highlighting their precision and reliability.
