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

Widely used for vehicle interiors and equipment housings, this blended material maintains its physical properties after thermoforming. It is comparable to Kydex.

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

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

Widely used in semiconductor applications, this polypropylene meets UL flame-retardance standards.

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

This material prevents the buildup of static charges.

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.

Because this 6/12 material absorbs less water than standard nylon 6/6, it holds its shape better. It’s often machined into hose fittings and valve components.

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.

Often used to make gears and wear strips, these cast nylon 6 sheets and bars withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 sheets and bars.

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

These black polyester sheets protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into pump components and spacers.

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

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

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

An aluminum coating on one side of this film reflects heat, so it’s widely used as an insulator and in packaging applications.

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.

These PEEK sheets can be machined to tight tolerances for use in electrical and semiconductor parts, such as test sockets.

Stronger than PTFE, PVDF offers good chemical resistance. Comparable to Kynar and Solef, it’s widely used for pump parts, tank liners, and seals.

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.

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.

Choose these sheets over standard Torlon PAI for their excellent electrical insulating properties.

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.

With a clear coating that provides protection from abrasion, UV light, and harsh cleaners, this polycarbonate is often used to create transit shelters and equipment shields.

This polycarbonate has a static-dissipative coating that prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

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

Laminate or mold this plastic film onto credit card signing screens, signs, and other surfaces for a see-through protective layer that won’t scratch.

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

Resistant to scratches and scuffs, mirrored acrylic is an economical alternative to mirrored polycarbonate.

Also known as Ethafoam.

Know at a glance when a tool is missing from a toolbox with this dual-color foam.
