High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is used in many different applications in both automotive and non-automotive pieces. It has a waxy feel, like low density polyethylene, but is stiffer and less flexible. You can find HDPE in fender liners, windshield washer bottles, and overflow tanks in automotive applications. In non-automotive applications, HDPE is used for ATV fenders, gas tanks, kayaks, canoes, playground equipment, and more. HDPE is naturally a translucent white color. Red pigment has been added to this welding rod to get a better match when welding red HDPE pieces.

This package contains 30 ft. (9.1 m) of high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic welding rod. Each rod is 12 inches (30 cm) long and 1/8th inch in diameter and there are 30 rods in the pack.
