40,737 Products

Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant in wet environments

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze for making nuts, hinges, and locks

Zinc

Draws corrosion away from nearby metal; an alternative to lead for sound barriers and vibration dampers

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Bronze

With better wear resistance than copper and brass, it’s used for bearings, gears, and pump parts

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Titanium

The most corrosion-resistant metal we offer, with very high strength relative to its weight

Nickel

An upgrade from stainless steel that withstands harsh chemicals and acids at high temperatures

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Ceramic

Hard and wear resistant, it also withstands corrosion and high temperatures

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Copper

The most conductive of our metals, it excels in all types of electrical applications

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Kevlar

Super tough for protection against prolonged wear and abrasion

Mica

An electrical insulator that resists high temperatures; use in circuit breakers and heating elements

Wood

Commonly used to build ramps, crates, and prototypes or to make repairs

Fabric

Use to cover, clean, and insulate objects

Tin

Soft and malleable for forming gaskets and filters; also mixes with other metals to make solder

Carbon

An electrical conductor that’s often used in electronics and sensors

Graphite

Compressible or conductive for making high-temperature seals, furnace parts, and crucibles

Cobalt

Slides against other materials without wearing and sticking; resists impact and rapid temperature changes

Leather

Durable and long lasting; often used for belting, lacing, and sealing applications

Glass

Clear and highly heat and chemical resistant; often used in sights, lighting, and lab equipment

Lead

A dense insulator often used to shield against radiation and absorb sound and vibration

Hard Fiber

Chemically treated to be hard and dense, this is the easiest composite to machine in our offering

Tungsten

Our densest metal resists wear and heat to make end mills, heat shields, electrodes, and more

Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Platinum

Conductive and formable, it resists extreme heat for use in parts such as thermocouple probes

Molybdenum

Retains its shape and strength in extreme temperatures and conducts heat and electricity

Tantalum

Conductive with a higher melting point than most metals, it’s often used in heating elements

Niobium

Conductive, corrosion resistant, and strong, even at extremely high and low temperatures

Fastening and Joining

Shim Stock

Cut into custom shapes for leveling and aligning fasteners, machinery components, and more

Shims

Level, align, and adjust spacing on fasteners, shafts, and machine components

Magnet-Receptive Sheets

Magnet-Receptive Sheets

Cut with scissors to form custom nonmetallic, nonmagnetic surfaces that magnets will stick to

Magnets

Attract or repel metal objects to hang, secure, or position them

Hook and Loop

Press to interlock pieces and fasten materials together

Snap-Together Fasteners

Snap-Together Fasteners

Mate the mushroom-shaped heads to join materials together with more holding power than hook and loop

Tape

Bind, seal, and mark surfaces

Sealing

Gasket Material

Gasket Material

Cut custom shapes and sizes to fill gaps between flat surfaces

Gasket Tape

Stick in place around doors, enclosures, and vents to create a leak-resistant seal

Rope Seals

Insulate the edges of oven, furnace, and boiler doors to keep heat in

Backer Rods

Insert into gaps before caulking to reduce how much sealant you need and improve adhesion

Sealants

Fill and seal gaps in metal, plastic, wood, and other materials

Thread Sealants

Thread Sealants

Create a seal between threaded connections to prevent loosening from vibration

Edge Seals

Block dust, water, and wind from entering the gaps around doors and windows

Fabricating and Machining

Prototyping Foam

Prototyping Foam

Carve, mill, or sand into lightweight parts for testing

Sandpaper

Add to sanders, sanding blocks, and other tools to create a smooth finish on work surfaces

Fluid Handling

Filter Mesh

Strain particles out of various substances

Sintered Filters

Sintered Filters

Tiny holes let particles such as air, gas, and vapor pass through while trapping contaminants
