Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine Delrin®
Acetal Resin Sheets, Bars, and Strips
These sheets, bars, and strips resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be easily machined to close tolerances. They also have a naturally slippery, wear-resistant surface. Use them to make precision gears, bushings, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.
Tight-tolerance bars are consistently flat, square, and parallel on all six sides.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Sheets
The naturally slippery surface makes these sheets a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll. PTFE surpasses most plastic when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. It is easy to machine and is an excellent electrical insulator.
Tight-tolerance sheets are consistently flat, square, and parallel on all six sides.
- Color: White
- Temperature Range: -350° to 500° F
- Tensile Strength: 2,000-3,480 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 3.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Durometer 50D-65D (Medium Soft)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM 3667, ASTM D3294, Made of FDA Listed Material, MIL-P-22241, UL 94V0
Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets and Bars
At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate sheets and bars are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® Acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
Gray and bronze sheets and bars are useful in light-sensitive applications where a see-through material is required.
Tight-tolerance sheets and bars are consistently flat, square, and parallel on all sides.
- Color: Gray
- Temperature Range: 0° to 250° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,500 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 1.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R126 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: UL 94HB
