Hylam Rod

Product Description

A Hylam rod is a type of industrial rod made from a high-quality thermosetting plastic material known as Hylam. This material is often used in engineering and manufacturing because of its durability, resistance to wear, and electrical insulating properties. Hylam rods are widely used in various mechanical, electrical, and chemical applications.

Key Characteristics of Hylam Rods:

1. Material: Hylam is a high-density laminate made from a blend of phenolic resin and paper or fabric fibers. This gives it excellent strength, electrical insulation, and resistance to heat and chemicals.

2. Durability: The rods are tough, resistant to impact, and have high tensile strength, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.

3. Electrical Insulation: Hylam rods offer excellent electrical insulating properties, which makes them suitable for use in electrical and electronic components.

4. Chemical Resistance: They are resistant to many chemicals, oils, and solvents, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.

5. Applications: Hylam rods are used in electrical components, insulators, mechanical parts like gears and bearings, washers, spacers, and in various industries like automotive, electrical, and construction.

6. Temperature Resistance: They can withstand moderately high temperatures without losing their mechanical or electrical properties.
