Our Mechanical Plastics Portfolio
We offer an extensive range of top-quality mechanical plastics materials, including:
UHMW
UHMW (Ultra-high-molecular-weight) polyethylene provides outstanding abrasion resistance, high impact strength, and an extremely low coefficient of friction, making it exceptionally durable and slick for demanding roles. Standard grades like TIVAR 1000 reliably deliver these core advantages for general use across Canadian industries. For specialized needs, enhanced formulations exist such as TIVAR 88 for superior wear resistance and material flow, and TIVAR H.O.T., which uniquely maintains these key UHMW properties at significantly higher continuous operating temperatures.
HDPE
Valued for its durability, chemical resistance, ease of fabrication, and cost-effectiveness, HDPE is a versatile plastic suitable for a wide range of applications.
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.
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.
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.
PTFE / Teflon
PTFE, commonly known as Teflon, offers superior chemical resistance, low friction, and high-temperature performance in various applications.
Truckbed Liners, Grain Elevator Liners, and Kryptane
These products are designed for durability, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Tecanet and Turcite
These materials are used for precision wear and friction solutions in the automotive, aerospace, and machinery industries.
Acetal (Polyoxymethylene or POM), POMC, and POMH
These plastics offer excellent dimensional stability and wear resistance, making them ideal for precision parts.
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
Rhinohyde is noted for its superior wear and abrasion resistance, ideal for mining and aggregate processing.
