Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

An economical alternative to Delrin® acetal resin, this acetal copolymer offers similar wear resistance.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes.

A good choice for making sprockets and pulleys, these cast nylon 6 tubes withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 tubes.

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Stronger than plastic and aluminum, this is the lightest weight framing we offer. It has good resistance to chemicals and salt water.

Often used in place of aluminum for structural frames, machinery components, and robotics, these tubes are lighter in weight and almost as rigid.

Fit these lightweight tubes inside each other to create adjustable tubes for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics.

Easily turn these rectangular tubes into parts for transformers and switchgears using high-speed tooling.

Use Garolite G-10 in place of Garolite G-10/FR4 for applications that are sensitive to halogen, such as in nuclear plants. It's strong, machinable, and electrically insulating.

Stronger than Garolite CE with better electrical-insulating properties, Garolite XX is often fabricated into low-cost electrical components.

More electrically insulating than Garolite XX, these tubes are often machined into insulating washers, bushings, transformer spacers, and parts of terminal boards.

Rated for temperatures down to -450° F, this Garolite G-10 CR performs better in cryogenic applications than other glass epoxies.

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

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

Neoprene is blended with EPDM and polyethylene for foam tubes that offer good resistance to water, sunlight, and oxidation.
