The addition of glass fibers makes this material more abrasion resistant than standard UHMW. It’s also known as Tivar 88.

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

Also known as Tivar H.O.T., this material lasts up to 10 times longer in high-temperature applications than standard UHMW.

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

With glass reinforcement, this nylon 6/6 material is stronger than standard nylon, plus it can withstand higher temperatures. It’s widely used in high-stress applications, such as caster wheels and automotive parts.

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.

The addition of MDS results in a nylon with exceptional wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties.

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.

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

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

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

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

This blended material quickly diverts damaging static charges.

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

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.

This film is often used as a separator when heating parts in an oven.

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.

Use Noryl PPO for electrical insulating applications where moisture is a concern. It remains dimensionally stable over time, even when temperatures fluctuate.

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

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.

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.

Choose these sheets over standard Torlon PAI for their excellent electrical insulating properties.

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.

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.

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

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

When compared to uncoated cast acrylic, this clear-coated cast acrylic is 45 times more scratch resistant.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

PFA film retains its performance properties through a wide range of temperatures. It is often used to insulate cables.

Mirrored polycarbonate resists damage caused by impact.
