How can we improve?

12,416 Products

Raw Materials

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Garolite

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

Fiberglass

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

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable—all with material certificates for traceability

Carbon Fiber

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

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments—all with material certificates for traceability

Rubber

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

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant—all with material certificates for traceability

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze—all with material certificates for traceability

Foam

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

Hard Fiber

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

Lead

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

Kevlar

Super tough for protection against prolonged wear and abrasion

Copper

Our most conductive metal for electrical applications—all with material certificates for traceability

Fastening and Joining

Coupling Nuts

Connect and extend threaded rods

Dowel Pins

Align parts before assembly or use as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components

Threaded Rods

Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications

Thread Adapters

Thread Adapters

Join threads of a different type, size, and gender

Standoffs

Threaded to separate or connect parts as well as position components in assemblies

Studs

Press, weld, or screw in place to add a threaded fastening point

Hot Air Welding Rods
