Our Mechanical Plastics Portfolio
We offer an extensive range of top-quality mechanical plastics materials, including:
UHMW – Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene
A top choice for wear applications, UHMW plastic offers exceptional abrasion resistance, impact strength, and a very low coefficient of friction.
We supply:
- UHMW sheets and rod
- TIVAR® 1000 (general-purpose UHMW)
- TIVAR® 88 for premium material flow and sliding performance
- TIVAR® H.O.T. for elevated operating temperatures
Perfect for bulk handling, liners, wear parts, and industrial machinery.
HDPE Sheets, Rod & Custom Cut Options
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic is valued for durability, chemical resistance, and ease of fabrication. Ideal for tanks, guards, shims, components, and more.
A cost-effective, easy-to-machine material suited for industrial and outdoor environments.
We carry:
- HDPE sheets
- HDPE rod
- High-impact puckboard
- Marine-grade HDPE (Starboard® / marineboard)
- UV-stable playground HDPE
Puckboard leverages HDPE's toughness for high-impact durability in applications like arenas, whereas playground HDPE materials prioritize enhanced UV resistance, stable vibrant colors, and safety features for outdoor play equipment.
Marine-grade HDPE sheets like
Starboard®
are specifically engineered with enhanced UV protection and optimized finishes, offering a durable, low-maintenance, and easily fabricated alternative to traditional materials in marine environments.
ABS Sheets
ABS offers excellent processability and can be easily molded into intricate shapes, making it a preferred choice for both manufacturers and consumers. Its balance of durability and aesthetic appeal makes ABS ideal for applications ranging from automotive components to consumer electronics and beyond.
Type 1 PVC
Rigid Type 1 PVC provides exceptional chemical resistance, corrosion immunity, superior electrical insulation, and inherent flame retardancy crucial for demanding environments. Easily machined, welded, and bonded, it enables the straightforward fabrication of durable and economical components ideal for chemical processing equipment, electrical systems, and various industrial applications.
Truckbed Liners, Grain Elevator Liners, and Kryptane
High-performance materials designed for extreme abrasion resistance, impact performance, and long service life in bulk handling and agricultural operations.
Tecanet and Turcite
Trusted materials for precision wear, friction control, and bearing applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. Available in rod, sheet, and custom-cut components.
Acetal (Polyoxymethylene or POM), POMC, and POMH
Known for excellent dimensional stability, stiffness, and wear resistance. Ideal for precision machined parts, gears, bushings, rollers, and engineering components.
PTFE / Teflon®
PTFE offers unmatched chemical resistance, low friction, and high-temperature performance.
We supply:
- PTFE rod and sheet
- PTFE tubing
- Teflon® sheets and components
Perfect for sealing, gasketing, and chemical applications.
Abrasion Resistant Lexan / Polycarbonate, SP1250, and Bullet Resistant Laminated Sheets
Ideal for heavy equipment, forestry cab windows, and other industrial vehicles, these materials offer durability and protection.
Nylon, Nyloil, and Noryl
These materials are noted for their high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance, suitable for mechanical and electrical applications.
FRP Grating
These products provide non-slip, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant solutions, perfect for marine and industrial environments.
Rhinohyde
Ultra-tough urethane with exceptional wear resistance for mining, aggregate processing, and heavy equipment protection.
