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.

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

The addition of carbon gives this material the ability to divert static electricity faster than antistatic UHMW.

Prolonged outdoor exposure won’t discolor or degrade VHMW.

Compared to our standard UHMW polyethylene, these sheets and bars hold up better to scuffs and scrapes in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications—such as conveyor equipment, chute liners, and machine guards. Also known as Tivar HPV.

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

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

Also known as pipe-grade HDPE, these sheets are about four times more impact resistant than standard HDPE and hold up outdoors, and in wet environments.

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.

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

This material prevents the buildup of static charges.

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

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

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.

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.

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 for packaging and construction applications, this film is also known as Visqueen.

A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity.

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

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.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.

Filled with carbon and graphite, this naturally slippery PTFE stands up to wear better than standard PTFE.

This film conducts electricity to prevent the buildup of static charges.

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.

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.

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

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

PFA film retains its performance properties through a wide range of temperatures. It is often used to insulate cables.

Also known as frisket film, this polypropylene has a low-tack adhesive that releases without leaving residue behind.
