    Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Strips

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Strips.
    In addition to having a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough, impact- and wear-resistant material handles the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastic can’t. These strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

    Ultra-Machinable Acetal Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Machinable Acetal Sheets.
    An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, these acetal copolymer sheets offer the same naturally slippery surface and similar wear resistance. They resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be machined to close tolerances. Use them for parts that require precision, such as gears, bearings, and bushings.

    Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Acrylic Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Acrylic Sheets.
    Often used for windows, signs, and windshields, these extruded acrylic sheets offer nearly the same performance as cast acrylic at a lower price. They’re a better choice for outdoor use than polycarbonate because they are UV and scratch resistant and will maintain clarity over time.

    Machinable PEEK Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Machinable PEEK Sheets.
    These PEEK sheets can be machined to tight tolerances for use in electrical and semiconductor parts, such as test sockets. With a ceramic filler, they have excellent hardness and rigidity. The filler also acts as an effective barrier against gas and fluid permeation. These sheets maintain their shape when exposed to temperature changes. They also withstand wear from abrasion and repetitive processes.
