How can we improve?

22,066 Products

Raw Materials

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Hard Fiber

Chemically treated to be hard and dense, this is the easiest composite to machine in our offering

Kevlar

Super tough for protection against prolonged wear and abrasion

Additives and Fillers

Additives and Fillers

Mix into coatings, resins, polymers, and metal to boost strength, conductivity, and lubricity

Pigments and Dyes

Pigments and Dyes

Add color to liquids, mixtures, and materials

Aramid

Strong, lightweight, and an excellent thermal insulator; also known as Nomex

Graphite

Compressible or conductive for making high-temperature seals, furnace parts, and crucibles
