In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

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

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.

Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

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

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.

Offering excellent arc and track resistance, this GPO3 fiberglass is often used for electrical applications in humid environments.

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.
