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

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

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

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.

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

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 PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

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.

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

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

This material prevents the buildup of static charges.

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

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

Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

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

When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

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.

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

Designed for extreme wear resistance, this Kevlar-filled nylon 6/6 material lasts up to 20 times longer than unfilled nylon. Also known as Hydlar Z, it is often used for parts that are continuously exposed to wear and abrasion, such as wear strips and bushings.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

Often used for circuit-breaker housings, manifolds, and semiconductor components, Ultem PEI offers excellent electrical-insulating properties.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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