UV- and Moisture-Resistant Polyester Rods
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 230°F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.53 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M93 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM D5927, ASTM D6261
These black polyester rods protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into valves, pump components, and spacers. They’re wear resistant and easy to machine. This material is also called PET and PETE.

Lightweight UV-Resistant PET Foam Cores

- Tensile Strength: See table
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness Rating: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
When exposed to UV rays, these cores won’t become brittle or break down. Use them to add stiffness to composite sandwiches that may be used outdoors without adding a lot of weight. All of these cores are lighter in weight than PVC, balsa wood, and aluminum honeycomb cores, but not as strong. They’re also moisture resistant and recyclable. These cores are often used in composite layups, structural panels, partitions, and industrial tanks. You can even soften them with heat, place them into a mold, and then cool them to create a variety of different shapes. Those with a higher density are stiffer, stronger, and weigh more than those with a lower density.
