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.

The addition of carbon gives this material the ability to divert static electricity faster than antistatic UHMW.

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

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

Package food, textiles, and other products in wet environments. This film won’t absorb or swell from water.

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

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

This film is often used as a separator when heating parts in an oven.

Often used for packaging and construction applications, this film is also known as Visqueen.

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

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

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

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

Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass 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.

Because this film dissipates heat, it is often used for printed circuit boards and power supplies.

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

Static cling allows this PVC film to stick without an adhesive.

A static-dissipative coating on this polyester film prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

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.

The slippery surface on this FEP film prevents sticking. Use it as a release film when making molded parts.

PFA film retains its performance properties through a wide range of temperatures. It is often used to insulate cables.

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.

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.

Resisting heavy impacts and temperatures up to 500° F, these Garolite sheets are used in machinery such as turbine bearings and downpipe gaskets.

Rated for temperatures down to -415° F, this Garolite G-10 CR performs better in cryogenic applications than other glass epoxies.

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

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.

Also known as fishpaper.

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