RS PRO Black Glass-Reinforced Plastic Rod, 1m Length x 15mm Diameter, Impact Strength 70kJ/m², UL94 HB, 771-796

RS PRO 771-796 Glass-Reinforced Plastic Rod is designed for robust industrial and engineering applications, combining mechanical strength with high chemical and environmental resistance. The rod measures 1 meter in length with a 15 mm diameter, offering versatility in mounting and integration for structural and functional builds.

This rod is produced from glass-filled Nylon 66, delivering increased stiffness compared to standard materials. Its composition includes a 30% glass filling to reinforce structural integrity and maintain excellent dimensional stability, even under varying loads and temperatures. Its high impact strength of 70 kJ/m² ensures the rod withstands repeated mechanical stress.

Safety and compliance are integral, as evidenced by its UL94 HB flammability rating and maximum operating temperature of 110°C. The rod features a high tensile strength of 160 MPa and a hardness rating of M 90 Rockwell, making it suitable for tasks requiring resistance to physical and environmental wear.

Water absorption is minimized to just 5.5%, and the rod is unaffected by ultraviolet light, allowing for reliable outdoor use. It also demonstrates resistance against strong alkalis and moderate resistance to acids, hot water, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, adding to its broad utility.

Use cases include mechanical construction, fluid power installations, industrial hardware setups, and tooling environments where enhanced rigidity, safety, and performance are paramount. Its combination of advanced material properties and environmental durability allows for applications across manufacturing, fabrication, equipment mounting, and other demanding sectors.
