Rods for industry: round rods made of metals, plastics and glass ceramics
Round rods are semi-finished products which are made of plastic as well as glass ceramics or different metals.
In addition, you'll also receive square rods from us, which are made of aluminium and PVC-U. Both types are used in laboratory technology, chemical technology and process technology, as are hollow rods or tubes, but they are also used in mechanical engineering.
Round rods made of metal
Aluminium
Solid aluminium rods consist of a high-quality material mixture in accordance with AL BS 1474. Both the round rods and the square rods which we have available are made of this non-ferrous metal.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel round tubes are manufactured seamlessly in accordance with ASTM 269. They are made of corrosion-resistant, tenitic and antimagnetic steel. The material can be easily polished and machined. A significant improvement in the mechanical properties has been achieved through cold working. The field of application is chemical technology, medical technology, the food industry, gas technology, oil industry and hospital technology. They are absolutely corrosion resistant.
Copper
Copper is a highly conductive and corrosion-resistant material which is also deformable. RCT's copper rods consist of 99.9% pure copper (Cu).
Brass
Tubes made of the material brass, which is a non-ferrous metal, are corrosion-resistant and highly conductive semi-finished products which are deformable.
Semi-finished products made of glass ceramics
The round rods made of glass ceramics are made of high-temperature ceramics with absolute chemical resistance to inorganic and organic media. The material is non-porous, non-deformable and has a very high hardness.
Plastic rods
Plastics can be modified within wide limits through the admixture of additives. An excellent characteristic of plastics is that their technical properties such as formability, hardness, elasticity, breaking strength, temperature and heat resistance as well as chemical resistance can be determined by the selection of base materials as well as by the use of modified manufacturing processes.
PTFE
PTFE solid rods are high-performance plastics with very good chemical resistance to all inorganic and organic media
PVDF
PVDF is one of the high-performance plastics with very good chemical resistance, good temperature resistance and a high allowable service temperature. Semi-finished products made of this material are distinguished by their great hardness, which is reflected in their high mechanical strength.
PCTFE
PCTFE has a significantly greater hardness and dimensional stability than PTFE. PCTFE is the hardest of all fluoroplastics and proves itself through an extremely low gas permeability.
Glass fibre reinforced plastic
GRP round tubes are electrically insulating, corrosion-resistant, weather-resistant and UV-resistant. This material is thermally insulating and has a high strength.
PC
The plastic PC (polycarbonate) is characterised by a high mechanical strength as well as very high impact strength. This is also the case at low temperatures.
PP
PP round or solid rods: polypropylene proves itself through a good chemical resistance as well as a good temperature resistance.
POM
POM is an ideal construction material for the production of gear wheels with smaller modules, heavy-duty plain bearings and guide rollers. But it’s also ideal for round rods. The advantages of this material lie in its high mechanical hardness, stiffness and strength. POM guarantees high mechanical strength values with a very good resilience.
PEEK
PEEK solid rods are high-performance plastics with extraordinary mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness.
PI
PI round rods also belong to the group of high-performance plastics, along with PEEK.
PMMA
PMMA is an ideal plastic for transparent constructions in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, medical technology and model construction. This material is UV-resistant and has very good optical properties. It is resistant to acids and alkalis, but an individual assessment should be made using our resistance list.
PA
PA rods are characterised by very high wear resistance, i.e. they are very resistant to wear, which is reflected in their good mechanical strength and impact resistance.
PUR
Reichelt Chemietechnik offers PUR, in this case Vulkollan®, in three different shore A hardnesses: 70°, 82° and 90° in accordance with DIN 53505. Its elasticity in the entire hardness range is remarkable, which means these rods are of particular interest for construction technology, chemical technology and process technology.
PVC-U
PVC-U belongs to the group of engineering plastics, which have high mechanical strength and stability. The plastic PVC-U is UV-stabilised, weather-resistant, thermoformable, adhesive and weldable.
