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.

This material suppresses static charges to prevent dust from building up.

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

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

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.

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

This material prevents the buildup of static charges.

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 cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

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.

Also known as starboard, this material won’t degrade when exposed to salt water, humidity, and UV light. It’s more rigid than standard HDPE.

Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

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

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

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

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

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.

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.

Protect sensitive equipment from damaging electrical static charges.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

Among the strongest plastic materials we offer, Torlon PAI has a slippery surface that resists wear. Use it to make high-friction compressor parts, bearings, and seals.

Filled with glass, these Torlon 5030 bars are stronger and more rigid than Torlon 4301 and 4203, yet still electrically insulate like Torlon 4203.

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

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.

A static-dissipative coating on this cast acrylic prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

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

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

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

Graphite is added to this Garolite CE to provide a slippery surface that reduces friction and makes this material conductive.

Use Garolite G-10 in place of Garolite G-10/FR4 for applications that are sensitive to halogen, such as in nuclear plants. It's strong, machinable, and electrically insulating.

Frequently called electrical-grade Garolite, this Garolite G-9 is strong, electrically insulating, and arc resistant in dry environments.

An alternative to wood in structural applications, FRP fiberglass is strong and lightweight.

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

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.

A layer of foam is sandwiched between two pieces of carbon fiber to make a featherweight material that's even lighter than standard carbon fiber.

Kevlar is a super-tough material that stands up to wear and abrasion.

This polyurethane combines the shock absorbing qualities of rubber with the tear resistance of plastic. Use it for high-tension applications such as conveyor belts, as well as for high-wear applications such as cutting surfaces, bumpers, and liners.

These sheets are stronger than our other plastic perforated sheets for greater impact and abrasion resistance.
