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.

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

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

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

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

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

One of the softest and most flexible plastics we offer, LDPE is more formable than HDPE.

Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents.

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

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.

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

Modified for increased impact strength over other types of acrylic, this acrylic is often used for skylights and outdoor signs.

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.

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.

Garolite G-7 withstands temperatures up to 425° F—higher than any other grade of Garolite. While not as strong as Garolite G-9 sheets, these sheets and bars offer better arc resistance in dry environments and a higher level of electrical insulation.

Rated for temperatures down to -415° F, this Garolite G-10 CR performs better in cryogenic applications than other glass epoxies.

Frequently called electrical-grade Garolite, this Garolite G-9 is strong, electrically insulating, and arc resistant in dry environments.

SG-200 fiberglass withstands temperatures up to 410° F—higher than any of our other fiberglass raw materials. It’s also stronger than FRP fiberglass and easy to machine.

Layers of fibers alternating in four directions makes this carbon fiber stiff at the corners and edges, so it stands up to twisting forces.

Also known as breadboards or proto-boards, these boards come with tin--lead-plated copper holes and solder pads or strips, so you can solder on components. They create more permanent connections than solderless circuit boards.

Also known as project boxes, these circuit boards are shaped to fit the included enclosure, so you don’t have to cut your board.

Also known as Ethafoam.
