A partially crystalline polyamide with good strength, toughness and resilience. This is particularlyimportant under impact loading or at low temperatures. Available in round bar from 5mm - 320mm.

This material has a higher melting point than Nylon 6 and, in addition, better mechanicalproperties, greater hardness and low water absorption. This makes it ideal for components whichneed to meet close tolerances. Available in round bar from 5mm - 250mm and ¼” - 2".

The presence of the Mos filler results in greater wear resistance and lower coefficient of friction.Stiffness, tensile strength and temperature resistance are also improved.Available in round bar from 6mm - 250mm and ¼” - 2".

As Nylon GS but with enhanced wear resistance, self lubrication, greater temperature resistanceand low moisture absorption. Available in round bar from 50mm - 500mm.

A semi-crystalline copolymer with a good all-round balance of engineering properties. Operatescontinuously at 100°C and has the added advantage of low moisture absorption, good impactresistance and dimensional stability. Available in round bar from 4mm - 250mm and ¼” - 2".

A unique combination of properties. Better wear and abrasion resistance than nylon or acetal,wet or dry. Significantly better dimensional stability and low thermal expansion rate plus goodelectrical properties. Food grade rated. Available in round bar from 10mm - 200mm.

The most widely used fluoropolymer. Outstanding chemical resistance, low flammability andhigh degree of resistance to weathering. Available in round bar from 4mm - 90mm.

An outstanding advanced material for demanding applications where excellent mechanicalperformance under extreme conditions is a pre-requisite. Available in round bar from 4 - 200mm.

A reinforced, self lubricating polyphenylene sulphide for demanding applications. A cost effectivealternative to PEEK in some applications. Available in round bar from 4mm - 100mm.

A high performance material with exceptional mechanicalproperties, even when operating attemperatures of 260°C. Available in round bar from ¼” - 2½”.
