The cylindrical shape fits into channels and other narrow spaces for sealing and cushioning.

The thin profile seals narrow spaces such as channels and seams. Natural rubber will stretch up to six times its length.

Seal and cushion narrow spaces such as channels.

Meeting UL 94 V-0, these rods are flame retardant—use them to seal and cushion narrow spaces.

Seal channels and other narrow spaces with these Santoprene rods.

Use these small-diameter rods to seal narrow spaces.

These neoprene foam cords stand up to water, sunlight, and oxidation, plus they resist swelling when they come into contact with oil.

An economical alternative to neoprene foam, these Santoprene foam cords stand up to water, sunlight, and oxidation but lack oil resistance.

These silicone foam cords meet NSF/ANSI 51 for food equipment materials. Use them to seal and cushion narrow spaces in food service equipment.

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.

Often used in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications, such as conveyor rollers and bearings, these rods stand up to scratches and scuffs better than our standard UHMW polyethylene rods. Also known as Tivar HPV.

If a chip of this material breaks off, it can be located by metal detectors to reduce contamination risks.

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.

The addition of MDS results in a nylon with exceptional wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties.

Use these cast nylon 6 rods to make sheaves, bushings, and pulleys. All withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 rods.

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.

This material prevents the buildup of static charges.

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

Polycarbonate maintains good impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Polyester resists swelling in wet environments.

When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

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.

Stronger and more rigid than Torlon 4301 and 4203 because they’re filled with glass, these Torlon 5030 rods are also electrical insulators like Torlon 4203.

Use these Torlon 4203 rods instead of standard Torlon PAI to create parts that not only withstand extreme temperatures, but also are electrical insulators.

Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility.

A glass filler is added to this this PEEK material to offer increased durability over standard PEEK in high-stress structural applications.

Widely used to make parts that require autoclaving, polysulfone is a hard, rigid material that’s easy to machine and thermoform. It maintains its physical properties when heated, even when exposed to steam.

Offering excellent resistance to shock, PPSU is frequently fabricated into vehicle parts and machine components that are subject to vibration. It withstands higher temperatures than polysulfone and can handle repeated autoclaving cycles.

Use PFA in place of PTFE and FEP for durability in repetitive processes, such as pump parts. It is chemical resistant across a wide temperature range.
