Filled with glass, these Torlon 5030 bars are stronger and more rigid than Torlon 4301 and 4203, yet still electrically insulate like Torlon 4203. The glass also prevents wear from abrasions and expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. These bars are often used to make electrical components that endure extreme temperatures. However, they’re not recommended for bearings or bushings because the glass eats away at other materials.

Safely and clearly view electronics inside enclosures in areas with explosive gases and dust. Made of glass, these windows protect your electronics from dust, weather, and washdowns.

The addition of glass fibers makes this material more abrasion resistant than standard UHMW. Also known as Tivar 88, these impact-resistant sheets are often used as liners for chutes and hoppers because they have a tough, slippery surface that keeps material, including metal, flowing freely.

The glass reinforcement makes these nylon 6/6 sheets stronger than standard nylon, plus it gives them the ability to handle higher temperatures. Offering excellent thermal stability, they’ll maintain their physical properties when heated. They’re often machined into caster plates, automotive components, and other high-stress parts.

These glass-filled PTFE sheets offer increased rigidity over standard PTFE sheets for durability in high-stress applications. They’ll also resist expanding when exposed to water and heat, so you can machine them to close tolerances. PTFE is known for its naturally slippery surface, as well as its superior resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures.

The addition of glass fibers to this polycarbonate increases tensile strength for structural applications. It also gives these sheets increased thermal stability, so they maintain their physical properties when thermoforming. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.
