The cylindrical shape fits into channels and other narrow spaces for sealing and cushioning.

Seal and cushion narrow spaces such as channels.

Meeting UL 94 V-0, these rods are flame retardant—use them to seal and cushion narrow spaces.

The thin profile seals narrow spaces such as channels and seams. Natural rubber will stretch up to six times its length.

Seal channels and other narrow spaces with these Santoprene rods.

Use these small-diameter rods to seal narrow spaces.

Made of EPDM, this foam has the best resistance to water, sunlight, and oxidation of all the foam we offer.

An economical alternative to neoprene foam, these Santoprene foam cords stand up to water, sunlight, and oxidation but lack oil resistance.

Seal and cushion narrow spaces in hot environments with these silicone foam cords.

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.

Often used in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications, such as conveyor rollers and bearings, these rods stand up to scratches and scuffs better than our standard UHMW polyethylene rods. Also known as Tivar HPV.

If a chip of this material breaks off, it can be located by metal detectors to reduce contamination risks.

This nylon 6/6 material is modified with MDS for a self-lubricating surface that’s more slippery than standard nylon. It's often used in high-friction applications, such as gears and bearings.

Designed for extreme wear resistance, this Kevlar-filled nylon 6/6 material lasts up to 20 times longer than unfilled nylon. Also known as Hydlar Z, it is often used for parts that are continuously exposed to wear and abrasion, such as wear strips and bushings.

The addition of MDS results in a nylon with exceptional wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties.

This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

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

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

A glass-fiber filler gives this material increased rigidity over standard Delrin® acetal resin. Use it to machine manifolds, impellers, and other parts that require rigidity.

A silicone additive gives this material a self-lubricating surface that reduces friction and extends the life of your parts.

One of the softest and most flexible plastics we offer, LDPE is more formable than HDPE.

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

The addition of glass fibers to this polycarbonate increases tensile strength for use in structural applications.

Known for its electrical insulating properties, this polystyrene is often used for cable connectors, electrical housings, and in microwave applications. It is also known as Rexolite.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

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.

Among the strongest plastic materials we offer, Torlon PAI has a slippery surface that resists wear. Use it to make high-friction compressor parts, bearings, and seals.

Use these Torlon 4203 rods instead of standard Torlon PAI to create parts that not only withstand extreme temperatures, but also are electrical insulators.

Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility.

A glass filler is added to this this PEEK material to offer increased durability over standard PEEK in high-stress structural applications.

Vespel® polyimide offers excellent strength, even at extreme temperatures.

Widely used to make parts that require autoclaving, polysulfone is a hard, rigid material that’s easy to machine and thermoform. It maintains its physical properties when heated, even when exposed to steam.

Offering excellent resistance to shock, PPSU is frequently fabricated into vehicle parts and machine components that are subject to vibration. It withstands higher temperatures than polysulfone and can handle repeated autoclaving cycles.

When excellent chemical resistance is combined with an ability to hold tight tolerances, the result is PPS—a material that’s widely machined into parts for chemical-processing applications. It is comparable to Techtron and Ryton.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

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.
