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.

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

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes.

This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

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.

This oil-filled material is self-lubricating for an extra-slippery surface.

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

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.

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

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