    Clear Ultra-Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Ultra-Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Bars.
    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.

    Ultra-Machinable Delrin® Acetal Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Machinable Delrin® Acetal Sheets.
    These sheets 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.
