PEEK
High performance thermoplastic material, unreinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone. Applications for higher strength and stiffness as well as high ductility. Chemically resistant to aggressive environments,
Glass Filled PEEK
High performance thermoplastic material, 30% glass fibre reinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), Applications for higher strength in a static system. Low coefficient of thermal expansion. Chemically resistant to aggressive environments.
Carbon Filled PEEK
High performance thermoplastic material, 30% carbon fibre reinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), Applications for higher strength and stiffness in a static or dynamic system. Excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, low coefficient of thermal expansion. Chemically resistant to aggressive environments.
Rubber (80, and 90 Durometer)
We mold a variety of sizes and materials in ID OD tubes. These are then used to machine R&D profiles to proof out new designs, or low volume parts.
PTFE
This is a general-purpose material used in applications where low friction and chemical compatibility are
important. PTFE performs well in low temperatures and has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid
material.
Molyglass PTFE
This is a mixture of two materials which are widely used in the manufacturing of seals and gaskets used in the petroleum industry and in many other industrial applications
Glass Filled PTFE
This material commonly used in valve seat applications. Increased compressive strength and creep resistance of the material allow much greater pressure on the valve seat and as such a much higher rated valve
UHMW
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made. It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals and has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction; is self-lubricating and is highly resistant to abrasion, in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel.
Nylon
Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material that can be melt-processed into fibers films or shapes. Nylon was the first commercially successful synthetic thermoplastic polymer.
Torlon
This material has exceptional performance of thermoset polyimides with the melt-processing advantage of thermoplastics. Wear-resistance grades offer unsurpassed performance in both dry and lubricated environments.
Bronze
Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12% tin and often with the addition of other metals and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than copper alone, or have other useful properties, such as stiffness, ductility, or machinability.
Aluminum
This is a bluish silver-white light malleable ductile trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation and is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust where it always occurs in combination.
Magnesium
This is a silver-white malleable ductile light metallic element that occurs abundantly in nature and is used in metallurgical and chemical processes, in photography, signaling, and pyrotechnics because of the intense white light it produces on burning, and in construction especially in the form of light alloys
Delrin
This is an acetal polyoxymethylene resin. It is approved for food handling use by the FDA. It is an economical material with properties of good strength, light weight, and self-lubrication. It is commonly used in the food, and Oil and Gas Industries.

NBR
Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is a family of unsaturated copolymers. Although its physical and chemical properties vary depending on the polymer’s composition of nitrile, this form of synthetic rubber is unusual in being generally resistant to oil, fuel, and other chemicals (the more nitrile within the polymer, the higher the resistance to oils but the lower the flexibility of the material).
HNBR
Hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) This rubber compound mixed with hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber and highly saturated nitrile (HSN) rubber are known for strength and retention of properties after exposure to heat, oil, weathering and many industrial chemicals.
FKM
Fluroelastomer or FKM is a class of synthetic rubber designed for very high temperature operation. FKM provides extraordinary levels of resistance to chemicals, heat and oil, while providing useful service life above 350 degrees.
Aflas
This material provides excellent chemical, high temperature, and steam resistance. fluoropolymer materials provide dependable sealing performance in water, steam environments resulting in their typical use in the oil exploration and drilling industry
EPDM
This rubber is a versatile synthetic material commonly used for sealing and insulation. It can be compounded to have specific properties in order to meet targeted product requirements.
Silicone
This material widely used in many industries, and there are multiple formulations. Silicone rubbers are often one or two-part polymers, and may contain fillers to improve properties or reduce cost. Silicone rubber is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures from -67 °F to 572 °F while still maintaining its useful properties.
