About Plastic

Moisture-Resistant Polyester Rods

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

Moisture-Resistant Polyester Sheets

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

Metalized Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film

An aluminum coating on one side of this film reflects heat, so it’s widely used as an insulator and in packaging applications.

High-Temperature Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film

This film is often used as a separator when heating parts in an oven.

UV- and Moisture-Resistant Polyester Sheets

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.

Slippery Moisture-Resistant Polyester

When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

UV- and Moisture-Resistant Polyester Rods

These black polyester rods 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 valves, pump components, and spacers.

Lightweight UV-Resistant PET Foam Cores

When exposed to UV rays, these cores won’t become brittle or break down. Use them to add stiffness to composite sandwiches that may be used outdoors without adding a lot of weight.

Scratch-Resistant Easy-to-Form PETG

A satin texture on one side of these PETG sheets makes them semiclear. You can see light from the other side, but not detailed shapes. They are more resistant to scratching and glare than standard PETG.

Clear Plastic

Clear Easy-to-Form PETG Sheets

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Clear Easy-to-Form PETG Tubes

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Clear Easy-to-Form PETG Rods

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Clear Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film

Polyester absorbs almost no moisture and resists swelling in wet environments. It is also known as PET and PETE.

Clear Static-Dissipative
Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film

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

Clear Plastic Selector Packs

These selector packs come with one 2” square of acrylic, cast acrylic, cellulose, PETG, and polycarbonate.

Polyester Fabric

Often used as outdoor equipment covers and pit liners, this material combines UV, water, and mildew resistance with tear resistance.

Color-Coded Shim Stock

This shim stock is color coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application.

Color-Coded Shim Stock Sets

Keep shim stock in a variety of thicknesses on hand with these sets, which are color coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut them into custom shapes to fit your application.

Plastic and Rubber Mesh

Moisture-Resistant Plastic Mesh

Even when wet, this mesh stays strong.

UV-Resistant Plastic Mesh

Use in outdoor applications.

Plastic Mesh Discs

Convenient for inline filtering, use these discs in pipe and tubing.
