- Triangle 7/32 inch (5.7mm)
- Flat 1/16 x 5/8 (1.6mm x 16mm)
- Packaging Options are:
- Rods come in packs of 10, 20 & 40 Rods each
- Coils come in 100-ft (approx 1/2 pound) and 200-ft (approx 1 pound)
- Reels come in 500ft (aapprox 2.5 Lbs), 10-Lbs, 20-Lbs, and 50-Lbs
Made of 100% pure HDPE plastic (High Density Polyethylene), no impurities. All Plastic Rods, Coils & Reels should be used with an appropriate plastic welding iron, heat dispenser or torch with applicable attachments.
HDPE Rods, Coils & Reels can be used for several popular types of repair jobs, but each plastic repair job needs to be carefully matched to the same type of Plastic Rod or Coil. These Rods, Coils & Reels are HDPE Polyethylene Plastic.
Warning: Mixing different types of plastics will likely result in poor quality repairs and poor longevity of the welds. Quite Simply, match your plastics and you're good... different plastics simply don't work well together.
HDPE Rods, Coils & Reels: Use with any plastic labeled Recycling # 2. Also typically includes Plastic Barrels, Chemical Resistant Containers, Plastic Dustbins, Chemical-resistant pipes, plastic carrying cartons
Product Name
Maven Plastics - HDPE Natural (Off-White) Plastic Welding Rods, Coils & Reels
Brief Description
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic welding rods are specialized filler materials designed for joining and repairing components made from HDPE plastic. These rods are crucial for creating strong, durable, and leak-proof bonds in a wide array of applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Repairing and fabricating tanks and containers, including chemical storage, water reservoirs, industrial containers, and fuel containers.- Joining and repairing pipeline systems for water distribution, chemical transport, gas distribution, and industrial waste.- Repairing automotive parts such as fluid reservoirs and fender liners.- Constructing and repairing marine products like kayaks, canoes, and boats.- Geomembrane installation in construction projects for landfills, ponds, and reservoirs.- Custom fabrication of plastic structures, industrial equipment, and various components.- Assembly and maintenance of aquaculture and agriculture structures, including ponds, irrigation systems, and tunnels.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Marine- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Construction/ Building Services- Chemical Industry- Energy- Fabrication- Distributers & Resellers
Special and Unique Features
- Ensures strong and durable bonds comparable to the original material.- Maintains excellent chemical resistance in welded areas, suitable for corrosive environments.- Withstands various weather conditions, UV exposure (often treated for enhanced resistance), and temperature fluctuations.- Exhibits low moisture absorption, maintaining integrity even in wet conditions.- Possesses non-toxic and anti-adhesive properties.- Available in various diameters, shapes (round, triangular, oval), and packaging (rods, coils, reels) to suit diverse welding requirements.
Key Properties
- Material: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a versatile thermoplastic polymer.- High strength-to-density ratio.- Excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures.- Good flexibility and toughness.- Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents.- Low coefficient of friction.- Minimum water absorption (<0.01%).- High vibration absorption.- Semi-crystalline thermoplastic structure.
Surface Compatibility
- Strictly compatible with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) materials.- It is critical to match the welding rod material to the base plastic material for a strong and viable weld.- Mixing different types of plastics will likely result in poor quality repairs and poor longevity of the welds.- Can be used with any plastic labeled with Recycling #2.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other plastic welding rods made from different thermoplastic materials such as Polypropylene (PP), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), HMW HDPE, and UHMWPE.- Adhesives are generally ineffective for repairing polyethylene due to its waxy texture; welding is considered the best method for repair.
Comparison Note
- HDPE welding rods create strong, permanent joints that can withstand considerable stress and strain, offering long-lasting durability compared to temporary adhesives or mechanical joints.- HDPE is stiffer and less flexible than low-density polyethylene (LDPE) but is used in similar applications.- Compared to polypropylene (PP) or ABS, polyethylene (PE) rods are typically waxy to the touch, offering more flexibility and resilience.- PVC behaves differently under heat compared to PP or PE and requires specific welding temperatures and ventilation.- HDPE welding is a cost-effective solution due to the longevity of the material and reduced need for frequent repairs or replacements.
