PE300, also referred to as PE-HD or HDPE, is a proven engineering plastic with high toughness, good chemical resistance and low water absorption.
The black colouring additionally increases resistance to UV radiation and is therefore particularly suitable for components where a dark technical appearance or increased UV exposure is relevant.
Typical advantages:
- high toughness
- good chemical resistance
- low water absorption
- low density
- good machinability
- increased UV resistance due to black colouring
- low coefficient of friction
- good electrical insulation properties
- black material colour
- suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
- cut to size possible
Select the required version and order your PE-HD rod in black directly online.
PE300 rod in black 1000 mm
The black PE300 version is offered at Martan in the shop with a length of approx. 1,000 mm.
The format is suitable as a starting material for individual technical components and smaller series.
Typical components are:
- rollers
- bushes
- sleeves
- spacers
- guides
- rings
- bolts
- bearing parts
- distance pieces
- technical turned parts
Depending on the required component length, the rod material can subsequently be cut to size and further processed.
PE300 rods 20–300 mm diameter
Martan specifies standard dimensions for black PE300 rods with diameters from 20 to 300 mm.
This means rod material is available both for smaller precision parts and for larger technical components.
Relevant search sizes are for example:
- PE300 rod in black 20 mm
- PE300 rod in black 30 mm
- PE300 rod in black 40 mm

You can select the specifically available variant directly via the product selection.
PE-HD rod cut to size
You do not need a full standard length?
Then a PE-HD rod cut to size may be the more suitable solution.
Martan specifies individual custom cuts as a possible version.
Typical machining operations are:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- CNC machining
- welding
A suitably prepared PE300 rod cut to size can reduce material consumption and simplify subsequent machining.
Properties of PE300 / PE-HD black
Black PE300 combines the typical properties of PE-HD with a more UV-stable material version.
Typical properties are:
- high toughness
- good impact resistance
- very good chemical resistance
- low water absorption
- low density
- low coefficient of friction
- good machinability
- good electrical insulation
- increased UV resistance
- good weather resistance
Black PE300 is therefore suitable for numerous technical applications inside and outside enclosed production environments.
Further information can be found in our polyethylene material profile.
Why PE300 rods in black?
The black version offers several practical advantages over natural-coloured PE300.
It is particularly suitable when:
- a dark component colour is desired
- UV exposure occurs
- components are used outdoors
- soiling should be less visually noticeable
- low light reflection is desired
- technical components should be visually differentiated
However, the technical material selection should always take precedence over the colour selection.
What are black PE300 rods used for?
PE300 rods in black are suitable for numerous technical applications.
Typical areas of use are:
- mechanical engineering
- plant engineering
- conveyor technology
- packaging technology
- fixture construction
- apparatus engineering
- outdoor applications
- general construction technology
Typical components are:
- guide elements
- bearing bushes
- rollers
- distance sleeves
- rings
- distance pieces
- sliding components
- bolts
- technical turned parts
PE300 rod for outdoor applications
The black colouring improves the UV resistance of PE300.
As a result, the black variant is particularly interesting compared with natural-coloured PE-HD for components that are regularly exposed to daylight or direct sunlight.
Typical applications can be:
- technical guides
- distance pieces
- bearing bushes
- rollers
- external components of machines
- structural plastic parts
The specific suitability should always be checked on the basis of the overall load situation.
Turning PE300 rod
PE300 can be machined well by cutting using conventional methods.
When turning, for example, the following can be produced:
- bushes
- rollers
- rings
- sleeves
- spacers
- bolts
- bearing components
Suitable tool geometry, cutting parameters and chip removal support clean machining.
Milling and drilling PE300 rod
In addition to turning, PE300 can also be milled and drilled well.
This allows, among other things:
- cross holes
- grooves
- surfaces
- recesses
- fastening holes
to be introduced into the component.
For more complex geometries, CNC machining can be useful.
Welding PE300 rod
PE-HD can be welded using suitable thermal methods.
Possible methods are for example:
- hot plate welding
- extrusion welding
When bonding, however, polyethylene is more demanding due to its low surface energy and generally requires suitable surface pre-treatment.
PE300 black or natural?
Martan also stocks PE300 rods in natural.
PE300 black is particularly suitable for:
- increased UV exposure
- outdoor applications
- dark technical appearance
- low desired light reflection
PE300 natural is particularly suitable when a light, neutral material version is preferred.
Here you can find our PE300 / PE-HD rods in natural.
PE300 black as rod or sheet?
If you specifically need PE300 in black, the suitable semi-finished product form depends on the component geometry.
Rods are particularly suitable for:
- rollers
- bushes
- rings
- sleeves
- bolts
- turned parts
Sheets are particularly suitable for:
- claddings
- covers
- linings
- flat structural parts
- milled parts
Here you can find our PE300 / PE-HD sheets in black.
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 constructions
- parts exposed to chemicals
- rollers and spacers
- outdoor applications in black
PE1000 / PE-UHMW is particularly suitable for:
- very high wear exposure
- high abrasion load
- pronounced sliding movements
- conveyor technology
- heavily stressed guides
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 functional parts, but differ significantly.
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 precision components
For particularly dimensionally accurate turned parts, POM-C rod material may be the more suitable solution.
