About Plastic

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 plastics can’t. These sheets, bars, and strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine Delrin® Acetal Resin Sheets, Bars, and Strips

These sheets, bars, and strips resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be easily machined to close tolerances. They also have a naturally slippery, wear-resistant surface. Use them to make precision gears, bushings, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

White sheets, bars, and strips are FDA compliant for contact with food.

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.

Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets and Bars

Clear

At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate sheets and bars are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® Acrylic and can be used in similar applications.

Lenses for Ceiling Lights

Solid with Cracked Ice Pattern

Solid with Smooth Pattern

Lenses disperse light to reduce glare and protect bulbs from damage. Cut to size using a band saw or shears.

Solid lenses keep bulbs hidden and distribute light evenly. Lenses with a prismatic or cracked ice pattern distribute light better than smooth lenses. Smooth lenses for LED lights scatter the directed light of an LED better than other solid lenses.

Acrylic lenses won't turn yellow over time.
