Also known as starboard, these sheets and bars won’t degrade when exposed to salt water, humidity, and UV light.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Often used for packaging and construction applications, this film is also known as Visqueen.

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

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

These black polyester sheets protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into pump components and spacers.

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.

Filled with carbon and graphite, this naturally slippery PTFE stands up to wear better than standard PTFE.

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.

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

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

These PEEK sheets can be machined to tight tolerances for use in electrical and semiconductor parts, such as test sockets.

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.

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

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

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.

Enhanced UV resistance makes this polycarbonate better than standard polycarbonate for outdoor use.

Often used in security doors and windows to protect against forced entry, this laminated polycarbonate is nearly impenetrable.

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

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