Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

Precision ground on the top and bottom to a tight tolerance.

One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.

Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used in electrical applications, such as for bus bars and wire connectors, as well as for flashing, gaskets, and rivets.

These copper bars have similar performance properties to beryllium copper, but do not require special machining techniques.

A lead-free alternative to 485 brass, 464 brass offers good weldability, strength, and wear resistance. It’s widely used for marine hardware, pump and propeller shafts, and rivets.

These sheets and bars are precision ground to a tight thickness tolerance.

These precision-ground sheets and bars are held to a tight thickness tolerance.

The thickness, length, and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

Add stiffness to composite sandwiches without adding a lot of weight.

A glass-fiber filler gives this material increased rigidity over standard Delrin® acetal resin. Use it to machine manifolds, impellers, and other parts that require rigidity.

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

This material suppresses static charges to prevent dust from building up.

The addition of glass fibers makes this material more abrasion resistant than standard UHMW. It’s also known as Tivar 88.

This oil-filled material is self-lubricating for an extra-slippery surface.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

Often used to make gears and wear strips, these cast nylon 6 sheets and bars withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 sheets and bars.

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

One of the softest and most flexible plastics we offer, LDPE is more formable than HDPE.

Use Noryl PPO for electrical insulating applications where moisture is a concern. It remains dimensionally stable over time, even when temperatures fluctuate.

Made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Widely used to make parts that require autoclaving, polysulfone is a hard, rigid material that’s easy to machine and thermoform. It maintains its physical properties when heated, even when exposed to steam.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

Instead of using metal, use these zirconia ceramic sheets to make wear pads, guides, barriers, and other parts that must resist bending and wear while maintaining strength under heavy loads.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

Stronger than Garolite CE with better electrical-insulating properties, Garolite XX is often fabricated into low-cost electrical components.

Rated for temperatures down to -415° F, this Garolite G-10 CR performs better in cryogenic applications than other glass epoxies.

These plates have three T-slots for use with T-slot nuts, bolts, and setup studs.

Durable enough to be used in seat cushions, this flexible polyurethane foam provides gentle cushioning support.

Prevent the spread of flames with these self-extinguishing silicone foam sheets and strips.

EPDM is blended with neoprene and SBR to create a general-purpose foam that offers good resistance to water and wear.

Stiff yet moldable, this foam takes the shape of any object that's pressed into it and will never spring back.

This polyurethane combines the shock absorbing qualities of rubber with the tear resistance of plastic. Use it for high-tension applications such as conveyor belts, as well as for high-wear applications such as cutting surfaces, bumpers, and liners.

Stronger and more durable than High-Strength Multipurpose Neoprene, this rubber can handle high-tension applications such as belting.
