Kapton® polyimide film is an excellent electrical insulator.

Because this film dissipates heat, it is often used for printed circuit boards and power supplies.

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.

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

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.

Common in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK bars help you identify contaminated batches.

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

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.

When compared to uncoated cast acrylic, this clear-coated cast acrylic is 45 times more scratch resistant.

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.

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.

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

Stronger and more chemical resistant than FEP and PFA film, ETFE film resists cracking over time.

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

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

Offering higher strength and better heat resistance than Garolite G-10/FR4, these Garolite G-11/FR 5 sheets are suitable for continuous use in elevated temperatures. With a black coating that reduces static electricity, these sheets are good for use in solder pallets, automated test equipment, electronic assembly workstations, and other applications where static buildup could damage your equipment.

Graphite is added to this Garolite CE to provide a slippery surface that reduces friction and makes this material conductive.

Stronger than Garolite CE with better electrical-insulating properties, Garolite XX is often fabricated into low-cost electrical components.

Resisting heavy impacts and temperatures up to 500° F, these Garolite sheets are used in machinery such as turbine bearings and downpipe gaskets.
