    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Sheets Made from Teflon® PTFE

    Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets surpass most plastic when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are excellent electrical insulators. They're easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.

    High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sheets and Bars

    Known for its use in the aerospace industry, where a balance of weight and strength is critical, carbon fiber is now often machined into panels for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics. Use it in place of aluminum to reduce your application's weight without sacrificing much rigidity. Because these sheets and bars are lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts, increasing the life of machinery.
    Plain Bars

    Plain bars have fibers that are aligned in a single direction, making them strong in the direction of the fibers. They hold up to bending across the fibers but will splinter and separate like string cheese when bent along the length of the fiber.
