HDPE Rod / High-Density Polyethylene PE-HD Solid Bar - Industrial Machining Bushing Roller and Component Material FDA & ISO Compliant
Improve lathe component manufacturing and mechanical efficiency across your facility using high-grade HDPE Rods (High-Density Polyethylene Solid Bar) PE-HD supplied by PT Karya Mandiri Packing. This solid thermoplastic bar (density ≥ 0.941 g/cm³) is formulated specifically for precision lathe machining, wear-resistant bushing fabrication, industrial rollers, and mechanical spare parts. These rods feature self-lubricating properties (low coefficient of friction), high abrasive wear resistance, impact strength, and resistance to concentrated acids, oils, and industrial solvents. All products conform to ISO 1183 and ISO 527 manufacturing standards alongside FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 food-contact qualification.
