A polyester string reinforcement gives this material better tear resistance than standard LDPE film.

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.

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

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

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

An aluminum coating on one side of this film reflects heat, so it’s widely used as an insulator and in packaging applications.

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

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

Often fabricated into signs, packaging, and light duty housings, polystyrene is easy to thermoform.

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.

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

This film conducts electricity to prevent the buildup of static charges.

Stronger than PTFE, PVDF offers good chemical resistance. Comparable to Kynar and Solef, it’s widely used for pump parts, tank liners, and seals.

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

Carbon mesh is embedded into this clear PVC film to dissipate electrostatic discharge and protect sensitive electronic equipment.

Polyester absorbs almost no moisture and resists swelling in wet environments. It is also known as PET and PETE.

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.

Stronger and more chemical resistant than FEP and PFA film, ETFE film resists cracking over time.

Also known as frisket film, this polypropylene has a low-tack adhesive that releases without leaving residue behind.

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

Garolite G-7 withstands temperatures up to 425° F—higher than any other grade of Garolite. While not as strong as Garolite G-9, it offers better arc resistance in dry environments.

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

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

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.

Also known as fishpaper.

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

Step into the dispenser and this plastic film clings to the bottom of your shoes and boots, so you don’t track dirt into your home or worksite.
