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.

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

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

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

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

Package food, textiles, and other products in wet environments. This film won’t absorb or swell from water.

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

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.

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

This film is often used as a separator when heating parts in an oven.

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

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.

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

Kapton® polyimide film is an excellent electrical insulator.

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

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

Carbon mesh is embedded into this clear PVC film to dissipate electrostatic discharge and protect sensitive electronic equipment.

The slippery surface on this FEP film prevents sticking. Use it as a release film when making molded parts.

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

A static-dissipative coating on this polyester film 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.

Also called acetate, this is the same clear film that's used in window envelopes.

Almost as stiff as steel and a fraction of the weight, these carbon fiber sheets are often used for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics.

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

Offering higher strength and better heat resistance than Garolite G-10/FR4, Garolite G-11 is suitable for continuous use in elevated temperatures.

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.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

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

Use these resin-free fabrics to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering your choice of fabric with an epoxy.

Step into the dispenser and this plastic film clings to the bottom of your shoes and boots, so you don’t track dirt into your home or worksite.
