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.

The addition of carbon gives this material the ability to divert static electricity faster than antistatic UHMW.

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

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

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.

This material prevents the buildup of static charges.

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

Create signs and partitions with this easy to cut PVC foam.

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.

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.

This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

One of the softest and most flexible plastics we offer, LDPE is more formable than HDPE.

The addition of glass fibers to this polycarbonate increases tensile strength for use in structural applications.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Garolite CE is often fabricated into parts where high strength is not required.

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

Resisting heavy impacts and temperatures up to 500° F, these Garolite sheets are used in machinery such as turbine bearings and downpipe gaskets.

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

Made with a flame-retardant resin, this FRP fiberglass meets ASTM E84 Class A.

Hard fiber is the easiest composite to machine, making it good for creating custom parts. Also known as vulcanized fiber.

Made of FDA-listed materials, these polyethylene foam sheets are often used as packaging for food products to absorb shock and damp vibration.

Protect electronic components from electrostatic shocks and chemicals while safeguarding them from bumps and drops during shipping and storing.
