RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic plugs ensure reliable protection against moisture, corrosion and contamination in industrial applications. These versatile closure elements are characterized by their chemical resistance to weak acids and alkalis, organic acids as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Temperature Resistance and Mechanical Properties
LDPE plugs function reliably in the temperature range from -30°C to +60°C, with short-term loads up to +80°C possible. The material impresses with high impact strength, tear resistance and good electrical insulation properties with a specific volume resistivity of <10⁷ Ohm x cm according to DIN 53482.

Product Variety for Different Requirements
The range includes various plug types for specific applications:

• Thread protection plugs made of LDPE
• Thread plugs made of LDPE
• Tapered plugs made of LDPE
• Lamellar plugs made of LDPE - square
• Lamellar plugs made of LDPE - rectangular
• Lamellar plugs made of LDPE - round
• Protection plugs made of LDPE
• Protection plugs made of LDPE - with flat head
• Protection plugs made of LDPE - with domed head
• Protection plugs made of LDPE - with retaining nubs

Application Areas
Thread plugs protect hydraulic and pneumatic systems as well as machine components from corrosion and are ideal for service work. Lamellar plugs function as effective sealing plugs with a dielectric constant of 2.3 at 100 Hz. Tapered plugs offer optimal adaptation to various opening geometries through their flexibility.

Plastic plugs and other products, such as elastomer plugs, plastic caps and elastomer caps, are available directly in the online shop of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik. The range of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik offers over 80,000 different products, which are used among others in mechanical engineering, chemical technology, process engineering as well as medical technology.
