How can we improve?

985 Products

Raw Materials

Ceramic

Hard and wear resistant, it also withstands corrosion and high temperatures

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Resin Fillers

Add to epoxy, urethane, and polyester resins to reduce weight and shrinkage

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Glass

Clear and highly heat and chemical resistant; often used in sights, lighting, and lab equipment

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Wax

Create seals and prototypes, lubricate tools, and polish equipment

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant in wet environments

Rubber

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

Lead

A dense insulator often used to shield against radiation and absorb sound and vibration

Tungsten

Our densest metal resists wear and heat to make end mills, heat shields, electrodes, and more

Copper

The most conductive of our metals, it excels in all types of electrical applications

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze for making nuts, hinges, and locks

Wood

Commonly used to build ramps, crates, and prototypes or to make repairs

Pigments and Dyes

Pigments and Dyes

Add color to liquids, mixtures, and materials

Titanium

The most corrosion-resistant metal we offer, with very high strength relative to its weight

Nickel

An upgrade from stainless steel that withstands harsh chemicals and acids at high temperatures

Fabricating and Machining

Abrasive Blasting Media

Abrasive Blasting Media

Use in abrasive blasters to remove paint and rust or add texture to surfaces

Tumbling Media

Use in tumblers to polish, finish, deburr, clean, or round the edges of metal parts

Fastening and Joining

Adhesive Spacing Beads

Adhesive Spacing Beads

Add to structural and instant-bond adhesives to keep them from oozing out during clamping

Magnets

Attract or repel metal objects to hang, secure, or position them

Measuring and Inspecting

Bore Gauges

Insert into a hole and expand the contacts to measure diameter
