More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Easier to bend and shape than 6061 aluminum, this aluminum is good for framing, cross sections, and structures in construction and marine industries.

Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include a wide range of high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

Often called architectural bronze, 385 brass is easy to machine and has excellent formability when heated. It is typically used for handrails, ornamental trim, and hardware, such as hinges and lock bodies.

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

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's commonly known as Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

FDA compliant and NSF/ANSI 51 certified, these 90° angles are approved for direct contact with food.

With nearly twice the tensile strength of standard high-temperature silicone, these 90° angles absorb shock better and last longer.
