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.

Moisture-Resistant Polyester Rods

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

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.

Clear Easy-to-Form PETG Rods

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.

Fiberglass

Structural FRP Fiberglass Rods

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

Structural FRP Fiberglass Round Tubes

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

Structural FRP Fiberglass Square Tubes

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

Arc-Resistant GPO3 Fiberglass Rods

Offering excellent arc and track resistance, this GPO3 fiberglass is often used for electrical applications in humid environments.

Arc-Resistant GPO3 Fiberglass Round Tubes

Use these round GPO3 fiberglass tubes for electrical applications in humid environments.

Arc-Resistant GPO3 Fiberglass Square Tubes

Route and insulate wire using these square fiberglass tubes, which fit better along edges and around corners than round tubes.

Extended-Life Swivel Joints

Specially designed lubrication channels and integral seals allow these joints to last up to three times longer than other swivel joints.
