Thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing.

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance.

Made from powdered metal, M4 tool steel has a consistent microstructure that gives it outstanding resistance to wear and abrasion. It is comparable to CPM Rex M4.

Also called flat stock, these precision-ground bars are held to tight thickness and width tolerances.

Often used for fasteners and valves, 410 stainless steel withstands wear caused by abrasion.

One of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating, 440C offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance. It's often used for bearings, valves, and knife blades.

Also known as blue-tempered steel.

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.

Also known as Tivar H.O.T., this material lasts up to 10 times longer in high-temperature applications than standard UHMW.

Made with carbon black, these recycled UHMW sheets are a sustainable alternative to standard UHMW sheets in applications where static electricity is a concern, such as in conveying equipment and chute liners.

Compared to our standard UHMW polyethylene, these sheets and bars hold up better to scuffs and scrapes in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications—such as conveyor equipment, chute liners, and machine guards. Also known as Tivar HPV.

This oil-filled material is self-lubricating for an extra-slippery surface.

This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

Often used to make gears and wear strips, these cast nylon 6 sheets and bars withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 sheets and bars.

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

Designed for extreme wear resistance, this Kevlar-filled nylon 6/6 material lasts up to 20 times longer than unfilled nylon. Also known as Hydlar Z, it is often used for parts that are continuously exposed to wear and abrasion, such as wear strips and bushings.

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

A glass-fiber filler gives this material increased rigidity over standard Delrin® acetal resin. Use it to machine manifolds, impellers, and other parts that require rigidity.

Widely used in semiconductor applications, this polypropylene meets UL flame-retardance standards.

Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets and bars surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents.

A layer of tin-plated steel adds structural support and makes this PTFE easy to form.

Filled with carbon and graphite, this naturally slippery PTFE stands up to wear better than standard PTFE.

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.

Common in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK bars help you identify contaminated batches.

Stronger than PTFE, PVDF offers good chemical resistance. Comparable to Kynar and Solef, it’s widely used for pump parts, tank liners, and seals.

Impact causes these porous bronze plates to release a thin layer of oil on the surface to minimize friction. Often found on conveyor systems and fabricating machinery, use these plates where friction between two parts or materials is wearing down equipment to extend equipment life.
