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

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.

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's commonly known as Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Because PVC resists acids and alkalies, it is often used in tanks and chemical-processing applications where visibility is essential.

An alternative to wood in structural applications, FRP fiberglass is strong and lightweight.

Offering excellent arc and track resistance, this GPO3 fiberglass is often used for electrical applications in humid environments.

Unlike similar U-channels, these GPO3 fiberglass hat channels have flanges for mounting to flat surfaces. Use them to route and insulate wire in humid environments.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94V0 for flame retardance.

Lighter than aluminum while remaining rigid, these angles are often used as brackets in structural framing, machinery, and robotics.
