Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Sheets, Bars, and Strips
In addition to having a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough, impact- and wear-resistant material handles the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t. These sheets, bars, and strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine Delrin® Acetal Resin Sheets, Bars, and Strips
These sheets, bars, and 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.
White sheets, bars, and strips are FDA compliant for contact with food.

These PEEK sheets can be machined to tight tolerances for use in electrical and semiconductor parts, such as test sockets. With a ceramic filler, they have excellent hardness and rigidity. The filler also acts as an effective barrier against gas and fluid permeation. These sheets maintain their shape when exposed to temperature changes. They also withstand wear from abrasion and repetitive processes.

Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Cast Acrylic Sheets, Bars, and Cubes
These cast acrylic sheets, bars, and cubes are often fabricated into tanks, see-through barrier panels, and light fixture lenses. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This material is scratch and UV resistant; it stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time.

Vibration Damping Sheets
Install these adhesive-back sheets to reduce noise from vibrating surfaces, such as duct and equipment housings.
Plastic sheets resist oil and grease.
Lenses for Ceiling Lights
Lenses disperse light to reduce glare and protect bulbs from damage. Cut to size using a band saw or shears.
Solid lenses keep bulbs hidden and distribute light evenly. Lenses with a prismatic or cracked ice pattern distribute light better than smooth lenses. Smooth lenses for LED lights scatter the directed light of an LED better than other solid lenses.Acrylic lenses won't turn yellow over time.
