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.

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

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

Compared to our standard UHMW polyethylene, these sheets and bars hold up better to scuffs and scrapes in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications—such as conveyor equipment, chute liners, and machine guards. Also known as Tivar HPV.

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

Also known as starboard, this material won’t degrade when exposed to salt water, humidity, and UV light. It’s more rigid than standard HDPE.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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