Polyethylene (LDPE), 3/16 in. diameter, Bulk, Natural

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is used in some underhood areas such as windshield washer bottles and radiator overflow tanks. In non-automotive applications, it is used on ATV fenders, kayaks, canoes, dirt bike fenders and gas tanks, motor home water tanks, and agricultural water/fertilizer tanks. Because Polyethylene is very waxy, it is almost impossible to get quality repairs using adhesives. Welding is the best repair method for polyethylene. Polyethylene is naturally a translucent white color. No pigment has been added to make less visible repairs when welding natural polyethylene parts. This is the bulk-sized package and requires a 10 lb. (4.5 kg) minimum order. Each rod is 12 inches (30 cm) long and is 3/16th inch (4.7 mm) diameter. There are approximately 100 rods in one pound (0.45 kg).
