About Aluminum

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Round Tubes

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Round Tubes

Polished on the outside to a #8 reflective, mirror-like finish, these tubes have no visible grain lines.

Anodized Multipurpose 6061
Aluminum Round Tubes

An anodized coating forms a bond to the inside, outside, and ends of these tubes to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rectangular Tubes

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Hex Tubes

Architectural 6063 Aluminum Round Tubes

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Anodized Architectural 6063 Aluminum Round Tubes

The outside of these tubes is anodized to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Architectural 6063 Aluminum Rectangular Tubes

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Easy-to-Machine 6005 Aluminum

Often used in structural applications to reinforce joints, these 6005 aluminum triangular tubes are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and easier to machine and form than 6061 aluminum.

Clear Plastic

Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Acrylic Tubes

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Tubes

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Clear Easy-to-Form PETG Tubes

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Clear Cellulose Tubes

Widely used as shipping tubes, this cellulose is also known as butyrate.

Plastic

Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine
Delrin® Acetal Resin Tubes

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

Slippery Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine
Delrin® Acetal AF Resin Tubes

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine Acetal Tubes

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

Wear-Resistant Nylon Tubes

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

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Tubes

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.

Chemical-Resistant PVC Tubes

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

High-Temperature CPVC Tubes

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

Impact-Resistant Easy-to-Form ABS Tubes

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

Polypropylene Tubes

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Tubes

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Durable Glass-Filled Chemical-Resistant
Slippery PTFE Tubes

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

Wear- and Chemical-Resistant PEEK Tubes

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.
