Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

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

Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

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

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

Often fabricated into signs, packaging, and light duty housings, polystyrene is easy to thermoform.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that's modified with filler material for a super-slippery, impact-resistant surface that resists wear.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

Often used for circuit-breaker housings, manifolds, and semiconductor components, Ultem PEI offers excellent electrical-insulating properties.

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

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.

Because PVC resists acids and alkalies, it is often used in tanks and chemical-processing applications where visibility is essential.

With a coating that reduces static electricity , these sheets are good for use in solder pallets, automated test equipment, electronic assembly workstations, and other applications where static buildup could damage your equipment.

These Garolite CE sheets and bars are often fabricated into parts where high strength is not required.

Offering higher strength and better heat resistance than Garolite G-10/FR4, Garolite G-11 is suitable for continuous use in elevated temperatures.

Garolite G-7 withstands temperatures up to 425° F—higher than any other grade of Garolite. While not as strong as Garolite G-9 sheets, these sheets and bars offer better arc resistance in dry environments and a higher level of electrical insulation.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

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.

Frequently called electrical-grade Garolite, this Garolite G-9 is strong, electrically insulating, and arc resistant in dry environments.

SG-200 fiberglass withstands temperatures up to 410° F—higher than any of our other fiberglass raw materials. It’s also stronger than FRP fiberglass and easy to machine.

Layers of fibers alternating in four directions makes this carbon fiber stiff at the corners and edges, so it stands up to twisting forces.

Hard fiber is the easiest composite to machine, making it good for creating custom parts. Also known as vulcanized fiber.

The textured surface of these thick shims keeps them from sliding apart when stacked. Use them to align cabinets, doors, and windows, or for other rough leveling.

Made of FDA-listed materials, these polyethylene foam sheets are often used as packaging for food products to absorb shock and damp vibration.

These corrugated panels are impact, heat, chemical, and weather resistant.
