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.

Also known as Tivar H.O.T., this material lasts up to 10 times longer in high-temperature applications than standard UHMW.

This oil-filled material is self-lubricating for an extra-slippery surface.

If a chip of this material breaks off, it can be located by metal detectors to reduce contamination risks.

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

A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity.

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

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

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

Known for its electrical insulating properties, this polystyrene is often used for cable connectors, electrical housings, and in microwave applications. It is also known as Rexolite.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

These black polyester sheets protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into pump components and spacers.

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