Stronger than natural rubber, these polyurethane rods combine the shock-absorbing qualities of rubber with the tear resistance of plastic. Use them to seal narrow spaces such as channels.

FDA compliant for use with food and beverage, these rods fit into channels and other narrow spaces for sealing and cushioning.

Stronger than standard high-temperature silicone rods, these rods are longer lasting and more shock absorbent.

Resistant to sunlight, ozone, and water, these rods are sized to seal narrow spaces such as channels.

Seal and cushion narrow spaces, such as inside channels and seams.

These small-diameter rods provide a seal in narrow spaces.

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

These silicone foam cords meet NSF/ANSI 51 for food equipment materials. Use them to seal and cushion narrow spaces in food service equipment.

Use these flexible polyurethane foam cords and circles to cushion narrow spaces, such as channels and gaps.

This material suppresses static charges to prevent dust from building up.

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

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.

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

With glass reinforcement, this nylon 6/6 material is stronger than standard nylon, plus it can withstand higher temperatures. It’s widely used in high-stress applications, such as caster wheels and automotive parts.

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.

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

Use these cast nylon 6 rods to make sheaves, bushings, and pulleys. All withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 rods.

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

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

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

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.

Polycarbonate maintains good impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Use Noryl PPO for electrical insulating applications where moisture is a concern. It remains dimensionally stable over time, even when temperatures fluctuate.

When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

Manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that's modified with filler material for a super-slippery, impact-resistant surface that resists wear.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

Carbon enhances the stiffness of this material, while the addition of PTFE ensures a slippery surface.

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

Often used for circuit-breaker housings, manifolds, and semiconductor components, Ultem PEI offers excellent electrical-insulating properties.

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.

Stronger and more rigid than Torlon 4301 and 4203 because they’re filled with glass, these Torlon 5030 rods are also electrical insulators like Torlon 4203.

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.

Just as chemical resistant as PTFE, yet FEP offers greater impact strength. Use it to make valve components and gaskets.

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

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