Slippery Moisture-Resistant Polyester
- Color: Off-White
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Tensile Strength: 6,600 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.9 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M75-M80 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM D6261, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1660
Moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE for rods that are self-lubricating and easy to machine. Also called Hydex and PBT, these rods are often used for bearings, gears, pistons, and other high-friction parts.

UV- and Moisture-Resistant Polyester Rods
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 230°F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.53 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M93 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM D5927, ASTM D6261
These black polyester rods protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into valves, pump components, and spacers. They’re wear resistant and easy to machine. This material is also called PET and PETE.
