Buy PE300 rod natural
PE300, also known as PE-HD or HDPE, is a proven engineering plastic made from polyethylene.
Natural-coloured PE300 rods are suitable for numerous technical components and combine robustness with good chemical resistance and good machinability. Martan describes the natural-coloured variant in particular as a solution for applications where a neutral colour and high media resistance are required.
Typical advantages:
- high toughness
- good chemical resistance
- low water absorption
- low density
- good machinability
- good electrical insulation properties
- neutral natural colour
- versatile in use
- cut to size and further processing possible

PE300 rod 1000 mm
Martan offers the natural-coloured PE300 rods with a length of approx. 1,000 mm.
In the market too, 1,000 mm is one of the central standard dimensions for PE300 or PE-HD rods. PlastX24, Thyssenkrupp Plastics, Technoplast and Verpas stock corresponding natural-coloured variants.
The round material is suitable as a starting material for:
- rollers
- bushes
- sleeves
- spacers
- guides
- rings
- bolts
- bearing parts
- technical turned parts
Select PE300 rods by diameter
The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for PE300 round material.
You can select the sizes actually available directly via the variant selection on the Martan product page.
On the market, PE300 rods are heavily searched for and offered by diameter. Competitors stock, for example, variants with 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100 mm and beyond.
When selecting, you should take into account:
- desired finished diameter
- machining allowance
- component geometry
- wall thickness
- mechanical load
- planned machining
- required tolerances
For turned parts, the starting diameter should provide sufficient material for subsequent finishing.
PE-HD rod cut to size
You do not need a full standard length?
Then a PE-HD rod cut to size may be worthwhile.
The round material can be prepared to the desired starting length and then further machined mechanically.
Typical machining processes are:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- CNC machining
Other suppliers of PE300 round material also highlight individual cut pieces as a relevant purchasing option.
A suitably prepared cut piece can reduce material consumption and subsequent machining effort.
Properties of PE300 / PE-HD natural
PE300 is a high-density polyethylene and is one of the established standard engineering plastics.
Typical properties are:
- high toughness
- good chemical resistance
- low water absorption
- low density
- good electrical insulation
- good machinability
- versatile processability
The natural-coloured version is particularly suitable when a neutral, uncoloured material appearance is desired.
Further information can be found in our polyethylene material profile.
What are PE300 rods used for?
PE300 rods natural are suitable as a starting material for numerous technical turned and milled parts.
Typical areas of application are:
- mechanical engineering
- plant construction
- conveyor technology
- equipment manufacturing
- container technology
- packaging technology
- general design engineering
Typical components are:
- rollers
- bushes
- sleeves
- spacers
- guides
- distance pieces
- rings
- bolts
- bearing components
- technical turned parts
Turning PE300 rod
PE300 can be machined well with suitable tools.
When turning, the round material can be used to produce, for example:
- bushes
- rollers
- rings
- sleeves
- spacers
- bolts
During machining, tool geometry, cutting parameters, clamping conditions and chip removal should be adapted to the material.
Milling and drilling PE300 rod
In addition to turning, PE300 can also be milled and drilled.
This allows, for example:
- cross holes
- grooves
- surfaces
- recesses
- fastening holes
to be introduced into a component.
For more complex geometries, CNC machining may be worthwhile.
PE300 natural or black?
Martan stocks PE300 rods in both natural and black.
PE300 natural is particularly suitable when:
- a light, neutral material colour is desired
- uncoloured material is preferred
- components are to be produced in a light colour
PE300 black is particularly suitable when:
- a dark technical appearance is required
- a black component colour is needed
- outdoor applications or increased UV exposure play a role
Martan explicitly describes the black PE300 variant as having additional UV protection.
Here you can find our PE300 / PE-HD rods black.
PE300 rod or PE300 sheet?
The suitable semi-finished product form depends on the subsequent component geometry.
PE300 rods are particularly suitable for:
- rollers
- bushes
- sleeves
- rings
- bolts
- turned parts
PE300 sheets are particularly suitable for:
- flat components
- claddings
- covers
- linings
- milled components
You can find suitable flat material under PE300 / PE-HD sheets natural.
PE300 or PE1000 rod?
PE300 and PE1000 both belong to the polyethylene family, but have different areas of focus.
PE300 / PE-HD is particularly suitable for:
- general technical components
- economical designs
- rollers
- spacers
- container and mechanical engineering
PE1000 / PE-UHMW is particularly suitable for:
- high wear stress
- high abrasion load
- pronounced sliding movements
- conveyor technology
- guides subject to wear
If wear and sliding properties are the priority, you can find suitable variants under PE1000 / PE-UHMW rods.
PE300 or POM-C rod?
PE300 and POM-C are both suitable for technical components, but set different priorities.
PE300 offers advantages in:
- toughness
- chemical resistance
- low water absorption
- economical standard applications
POM-C offers advantages in:
- higher rigidity
- higher dimensional accuracy
- precise machining
- dimensionally stable functional parts
For particularly precise turned parts, POM-C round material may be the more suitable choice.
