Extruded nylon plastic rods are strong: rigid, with a high melting point. This strength, coupled with the wear properties of nylon, make it one of the most widely used plastics in the world. Nylon is frequently substituted for bronze, brass, aluminum, steel, and other metals, in addition to other plastics, wood, and even rubber. It is literally the answer to almost any need.
Plastic rods are extruded in the same way as plastic tubing and sheeting, except that rods are solid—not hollow. Extruded plastic rods are used primarily as structural supports for many applications, from POP displays to industrial construction. Extruded plastic rods an also be coextruded with other types of plastic and/or other materials to further strengthen the rod’s core while also cutting the price tag on material costs. Many manufacturers, from aerospace engineering firms to electronics corporations, use solid plastic rods as raw materials: which are then machined into parts such as bearings, gaskets, seals, etc. Extruded plastic rods are ideal materials for these industries because the unique properties of the plastic, for example: low density, structural integrity and corrosion resistance—just to name a few.
With so many uses for this super-product, it’s no wonder its place in the market is secure. Simply put, many industries depend on extruded plastic tubing—and for good reason. What can extruded plastic rods do for you and your business? Contact us today and let’s find out.
