    Highly Moisture-Resistant HDPE Rods

    Machine these rods and discs into plugs, seals, and low-load rollers. They’re denser and more rigid than LDPE rods, and they offer better resistance to water and chemicals.

    Plastic Unthreaded Spacers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Spacers. Plastic Unthreaded Spacers.
    Lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant, these plastic spacers are commonly used for electronic and automation applications.
    HDPE—Harder and more chemical resistant than LDPE, these spacers hold up to strong acids, bases, and solvents without swelling or losing strength. They’re virtually nonabsorbent and scratch-resistant, but may crack if struck suddenly.
