These strips resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be easily machined to close tolerances. They also have a naturally slippery, wear-resistant surface. Use them to make precision gears, bushings, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

Use this PVC film to line tanks and in chemical-processing applications where visibility is essential. PVC resists acids and alkalies.

At only half the weight of glass, these polycarbonate bars are often used for windows, machine guards, instrument gauge covers, and signs. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon. It has greater impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.

A satin texture on one side of these PETG sheets makes them semi-clear. The satin side is more resistant to scratching and glare than standard PETG. The other side is smooth. You can see light from the other side, but not detailed shapes. They’re often formed into complex shapes such as displays, signs, and trays, and are easy to cut with sheet metal shears. These sheets have better impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.

Practically nonabsorbent, these strips won't swell, warp, or weaken when wet. They hold up well in humidity, washdowns, and even full submersion, so they’re a great choice for fabricating wear strips in conveyor systems, shims, edge protectors, or liners. When used outdoors, they outlast wood and metal because they won’t degrade from water and UV exposure. These strips are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

With excellent electrical-insulating properties, high strength, and wear resistance, these sheets are often used to make electrical components. Use them for circuit-breaker housings, insulators, and semiconductor components.

With a slippery surface that reduces friction, these wear-resistant nylon 6/6 strips are often machined into bearings, gears, and valve seats.

This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator. PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.

A layer of tin-plated steel adds structural support and makes this PTFE easy to form. Bend it to fit inside V-blocks and other channels, or cut it to form wear strips and thrust bearings. PTFE is naturally slippery, so it works well in parts that slide and roll.

These wear-resistant nylon 6/6 strips are modified with MDS for a self-lubricating surface that’s more slippery than standard nylon. Use them to machine high-friction parts, such as gears, wear strips, and bearings.

In addition to meeting UL standards for flame retardance, this film is an excellent electrical insulator, so it’s widely used in semiconductor applications.

Widely known as fishpaper and vulcanized fiber, these thin sheets offer better electrical insulation than standard hard fiber sheets. They are constructed from lightweight cotton fabric that's been chemically treated to make it hard and dense.
