Raw Materials

Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum U-Channels

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.

Architectural 6063 Aluminum U-Channels

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 U-Channels

An anodized coating on these U-channels forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Architectural 6063 Aluminum H-Bars

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

Low-Carbon Steel U-Channels

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Low-Carbon Steel H-Bars

Also known as W- and WF-beams, H-bars have wide flanges for strength. Made of stiff low-carbon steel, they’re often used in machine bases, platforms, and frames.

Easy-to-Machine Architectural
385 Brass U-Channels

Often called architectural bronze, 385 brass is easy to machine and has excellent formability when heated. It is typically used for handrails, ornamental trim, and hardware, such as hinges and lock bodies.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene U-Channels

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 U-Channels

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

Polypropylene U-Channels

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

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE U-Channels

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

Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate U-Channels

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.

Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber U-Channels

Often used to make railings, edge covers, and other structural framing parts, these carbon fiber U-channels add stiffness and strength to applications without adding a lot of weight.

Structural FRP Fiberglass U-Channels

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

Arc-Resistant GPO3 Fiberglass U-Channels

Offering excellent arc and track resistance, this GPO3 fiberglass is often used for electrical applications in humid environments.

High-Temperature Silicone Rubber U-Channels

The open top allows U-channels to slide over an edge. Use them as seals and trim.

Super-Cushioning Foam U-Channels

The open top allows these foam U-channels to slide over and cushion an edge.
