This must be considered when purchasing to ensure durability in the final application. When looking for a specific type of plastic rod, you have the option to choose between the variety of plastic materials, lengths, diameter and colours.As well as tensile strength, plastic rods can be rated by their impact and cross breaking strength helping to ensure safe application. Flammability and melting point are also factors to consider when using plastic rods for industrial purposes where prolonged use or change of open flame occur.
