Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

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

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

This nylon 6/6 material is modified with MDS for a self-lubricating surface that’s more slippery than standard nylon. It's often used in high-friction applications, such as gears and bearings.

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.

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.

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

Often fabricated into signs, packaging, and light duty housings, polystyrene is easy to thermoform.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

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

Manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that's modified with filler material for a super-slippery, impact-resistant surface that resists wear.

Protect sensitive equipment from damaging electrical 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

An alternative to wood in structural applications, FRP fiberglass is strong and lightweight.

Made with a flame-retardant resin, this FRP fiberglass meets ASTM E84 Class A.

Known for its use in the aerospace industry, where a balance of weight and strength is critical, carbon fiber is now often machined into panels for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics.

Hard fiber is the easiest composite to machine, making it good for creating custom parts. Also known as vulcanized fiber.

Also known as Ethafoam.

These vinyl foam sheets and strips are so conformable that once they're compressed they won't fully spring back. Use them to fill gaps and seal uneven surfaces.

An economical alternative to Viton® fluoroelastomer foam, these semi-rigid nylon foam sheets offer good resistance to a wide range of chemicals.

These sheets are stronger than our other plastic perforated sheets for greater impact and abrasion resistance.

This insulation meets ASTM E162 for flame retardance and ASTM E662 for smoke output. Use to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures. Sheets are made of polyimide foam.

The fiberglass facing on these flexible silicone foam sheets protects against highly abrasive conditions and resists tearing.
