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

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

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

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.

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.

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.

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.

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

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.

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

Often used for terminal boards, electrical housings, end plates, and structural components in high temperatures, these sheets are a flame-retardant version of Garolite G-11. All are stronger and resist heat better than Garolite G-10/FR4.

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.

Use this Garolite glass carbon to divert static charges that can damage equipment.

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.

Commonly used for tires, conveyor belts, and chutes, SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) is harder and offers better abrasion resistance than natural rubber.

With one layer of polyester fabric for every 1/16” of thickness, these sheets and strips maintain their size and shape under heavy compression better than the nonreinforced abrasion-resistant SBR.

Greater strength than standard High-Temperature Silicone translates into better shock-absorbing qualities and longer life.

Create a barrier against fire and smoke. These sheets and strips meet FAR 25.856 and UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

Made from FDA-listed materials for use with food.

Stronger and more durable than High-Strength Multipurpose Neoprene, this rubber can handle high-tension applications such as belting.

This neoprene dissipates static electrical charge, which can damage or cause equipment to malfunction.

With one layer of nylon fabric for every 1/16” of thickness, these sheets have the strength to be used as flange gaskets, diaphragm packing, and anywhere heavy compression would squeeze nonreinforced neoprene out of place.

Even when temperatures rise to 445° F, these Kalrez sheets are resistant to virtually all classes of chemicals.

Offering higher tensile strength than standard Chemical-Resistant Viton® Fluoroelastomer, these sheets and strips provide greater tear resistance and longer life.

With equal chemical resistance to Viton® fluoroelastomer, Aflas provides a stronger, steam-tolerant alternative.

A cross between plastic and rubber, Santoprene offers good resistance to weather and chemicals while retaining its stretchability.

With greater strength than standard Weather-Resistant EPDM, these sheets and strips provide better shock-absorbing qualities and longer life.

These EPDM sheets and strips meet transportation industry standards for flammability, smoke, and toxicity. Use them as weather-resistant seals on windows and doors, pads to reduce vibration between panels, and exterior trim.

Made from FDA-compliant materials for use with food and beverage, these sheets and strips won’t degrade from animal and vegetable oils.

The addition of vinyl make these sheets the strongest Food Industry Oil-Resistant rubber we offer. Use them for high-tension applications, such as belting. They’re made from FDA-listed materials for use with food and offer good resistance to animal and vegetable oils.

Because these sheets and strips are made from peroxide-cured Buna-N rubber, they have better heat resistance than standard Oil-Resistant Buna-N rubber sheets and strips.

To maintain their size and shape under heavy compression, these sheets have one layer of nylon fabric for every 1/16” of thickness. Use them as flange gaskets and diaphragm packing.

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.

Often used for impact pads, gaskets, and enclosure seals, these polyurethane foam sheets and strips absorb shock better than other resilient foam.

Also known as Ethafoam.
