Widely used in semiconductor applications, this polypropylene meets UL flame-retardance standards.

This blended material quickly diverts damaging static charges.

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

Widely used for vehicle interiors and equipment housings, this blended material maintains its physical properties after thermoforming. It is comparable to Kydex.

The combination of high strength and water resistance, along with a variety of color choices, makes this opaque cast acrylic useful for outdoor signs and containers. It's also known as Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

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.

Because this 6/12 material absorbs less water than standard nylon 6/6, it holds its shape better. It’s often machined into hose fittings and valve components.

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.

A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity.

The addition of glass fibers to this polycarbonate increases tensile strength for use in structural applications.

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.

An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, this acetal copolymer offers similar wear resistance.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

Known for its electrical insulating properties, this polystyrene is often used for cable connectors, electrical housings, and in microwave applications. It is also known as Rexolite.

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

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

Among the strongest plastic materials we offer, Torlon PAI has a slippery surface that resists wear. Use it to make high-friction compressor parts, bearings, and seals.

Protect sensitive equipment from damaging electrical static charges.

Manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE material that's modified with epoxy-coated fiber for a super-slippery, impact-resistant surface that resists wear.

Common in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK sheets and bars help you identify contaminated batches.

Just as chemical resistant as PTFE, yet FEP offers greater impact strength. Use it to make valve components and gaskets.

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

A static-dissipative coating on this cast acrylic prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

Modified for increased impact strength over other types of acrylic, this acrylic is often used for skylights and outdoor signs.

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

With a clear coating that provides protection from abrasion, UV light, and harsh cleaners, this polycarbonate is often used to create transit shelters and equipment shields.

This polycarbonate has a static-dissipative coating that prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

Resistant to scratches and scuffs, mirrored acrylic is an economical alternative to mirrored polycarbonate.

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

With more than twice the heat tolerance of standard FRP fiberglass, this material withstands temperatures up to 370° F.

This FRP fiberglass is made with a chemical-resistant resin that stands up to harsh environments.

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

Frequently called electrical-grade Garolite, this Garolite G-9 is strong, electrically insulating, and arc resistant in dry environments.

Garolite G-7 sheets have high heat tolerance—they withstand temperatures up to 425° F. While not as strong as Garolite G-9 sheets, they offer better arc resistance in dry environments.

Use Garolite G-10 in place of Garolite G-10/FR4 for applications that are sensitive to halogen, such as in nuclear plants. It's strong, machinable, and electrically insulating.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

Resisting heavy impacts and temperatures up to 500° F, these Garolite sheets are used in machinery such as turbine bearings and downpipe gaskets.

The strongest composite we offer, carbon fiber is comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum yet lighter in weight.

Hard fiber is the easiest composite to machine, making it good for creating custom parts. Also known as vulcanized fiber.

Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering your choice of fabric with an epoxy.

Made of flexible composite paper, these sheets won't shrink or lose shape in the high temperatures of air furnaces and hot water tanks.
