Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

A glass filler is added to this this PEEK material to offer increased durability over standard PEEK in high-stress structural applications.

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.

Use PFA in place of PTFE and FEP for durability in repetitive processes, such as pump parts. It is chemical resistant across a wide temperature range.

Often used as gaskets and bearings, this slippery-surface material absorbs virtually no moisture. PCTFE is equivalent to Kel-F and Neoflon.

When excellent chemical resistance is combined with an ability to hold tight tolerances, the result is PPS—a material that’s widely machined into parts for chemical-processing applications. It is comparable to Techtron and Ryton.

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.

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.

If a chip of this material breaks off, it can be located by metal detectors to reduce contamination risks.

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

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 6/6 material is modified with MDS for a self-lubricating surface that’s more slippery than standard nylon. It's often used in high-friction applications, such as gears and bearings.

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes.

Use these cast nylon 6 rods to make sheaves, bushings, and pulleys. All withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 rods.

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.

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.

This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

These black polyester sheets 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 pump components and spacers.

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

Polycarbonate maintains good impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.
