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.

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

Made of recycled HDPE plastic, these sheets are more sustainable and economical than standard marine-grade moisture-resistant HDPE sheets.

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

Widely used for vehicle interiors and equipment housings, this blended material maintains its physical properties after thermoforming. It is comparable to Kydex.

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

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.

Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

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

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

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

Modified for increased impact strength over other types of acrylic, this acrylic is often used for skylights and outdoor signs.

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.

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

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

These Garolite CE sheets and bars are often fabricated into parts where high strength is not required.

Offering higher strength and better heat resistance than Garolite G-10/FR4, Garolite G-11 is suitable for continuous use in elevated temperatures.

Garolite G-7 withstands temperatures up to 425° F—higher than any other grade of Garolite. While not as strong as Garolite G-9 sheets, these sheets and bars offer better arc resistance in dry environments and a higher level of electrical insulation.

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

Offering excellent arc and track resistance, this GPO3 fiberglass is often used for electrical applications in humid environments.

SG-200 fiberglass withstands temperatures up to 410° F—higher than any of our other fiberglass raw materials. It’s also stronger than FRP fiberglass and easy to machine.

Also known as Ethafoam.
