ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS is a common thermoplastic used to make lightweight,
rigid products such as automotive parts, piping and
laboratory equipment. It is widely used for mechanical
purposes, and also has good electrical properties.
ABS is strong, rigid, and tough and can withstand
temperatures between -13°F and 140°F without affecting
its impact resistance. Dimensional stability under load
of ABS is excellent. ABS is resistant to aqueous acids,
alkalis, hydrochloric and phosphoric acids, alcohols and
natural oils. Colors are Natural, Black and White. Onesided Haircell texture is available.

Acetal
Acetal products absorb a minimal amount of moisture and their physical properties remain constant in a variety of
environments. Acetals are easily machined and have excellent dimensional stability for close-tolerance machined parts. It is
ideally suited for applications which require strength and stiffness. Acetal shapes are produced from copolymer (Acetron®
GP) and homopolymer (Delrin®) resins which provide a high modulus of elasticity coupled with great strength, stiffness and
toughness. They are also characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good bearing characteristics. Color is Natural.
Black is available with a surcharge.

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PET is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic
polyester derived from Polyethylene Terephthalate. It has
excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, a
high flexural modulus and superior dimensional stablility,
making it a versatile material for designing mechanical and
electromechanical parts. Because PET has no center-line
porosity, the possibility of fluid absorption and leakage
is virtually eliminated. PET has superior performance
characteristics, particularly in wear resistance and
centerline porosity, giving it an advantage over other
materials for applications using solvents, chemicals and
food products. It is also used in water purification systems,
printing equipment, textile components, food handling
equipment and valves. Natural in color. Black is available
with a surcharge.

Phenolic / Laminate
Phenolic, also known as Micarta®, Textolite® and Spauldite®, is a hard, dense material
made by applying heat and pressure to a series of layered material, such as paper
or fabric, and then impregnating it with a synthetic resin. The layered material usually
consists of cellulose paper, cotton fabric, synthetic fabric, glass fabrics or unwoven
fabrics. Once the layers are heated and pressure is applied, the layers are transformed
into a high pressure thermoset industrial laminate. Phenolic sheet rod is manufactured
from flat laminated sheet. The material is cut into strips and lathe turned into rod. Color is
Natural. Black is available with a surcharge.
Benefits:
• Excellent dielectric strength • Good machinability
• Good dimensional stability
• Good mechanical strength
• Fabric grades (Linen & Canvas) are tougher and less brittle
than paper grades
• Able to withstand severe shock loads, repeated bending stress
and has good wear resistance
• Glass fabric grades have excellent impact / tensile strength
and good heat / electrical resistance

PUR (Polyurethane)
Cast urethane products are well known for their extraordinary toughness and
durability. In their most demanding applications, they outlast conventional
rubbers and plastics by a factor of 20 to 1. Urethane will usually outlast carbon
steel when forced abrasion is applied. Cast from thermosetting urethane resins,
urethane products are produced to very close tolerances and typically require
a minimal machining to adapt to their end uses. Precision cast products are
available in several shapes. Sheets are both unsupported and fabric backed.
Color is Natural.

PVC / CPVC (Polyvinylchloride / Chlorinated Polyvinylchloride)
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a thermoplastic material with excellent chemical
resistance and dielectric properties, good tensile, flexural and mechanical
strength, low moisture absorption, exceptional dimensional stability and good
flammability characteristics.
Clear PVC Sheet
Generally there are two basic types of PVC available - rigid PVC and plasticized
PVC (flexible). There are hundreds of formulations available for desired
physical properties targeted to a specific application. Call Total Plastics for help
in determining what will work best for you. PVC is available in a wide range of
colors, as well as transparent variations. Grey is the standard color. We handle
rigid industrial PVC in sheet, slab, tube, pipe, profiles, fittings and rod.
Type I PVC is a general purpose grade with good chemical resistance and a low cost-toweight ratio.
CPVC has a greater high temperature resistance and exceptional fire resistance properties,
providing products with low flame spread and smoke generation characteristics. CPVC
also has excellent corrosion resistance.
Total Plastics also handles the full range of flexible PVC which is available in sheet, film,
fittings and flexible tubing. For flexible PVC / Vinyl tubing, see page 58.

Rulon® is the solution to problems where heat, cold, lubrication, wear, corrosion or friction are a design constraint. Rulon® is designed to
operate dry.
Rulon® J is dull gold in color, Rulon® J has the lowest coefficient of friction of all the reinforced PTFE grades. It has the ability to run on nonferrous and non-metallic mating surfaces such as 316 stainless steel and brass.
Rulon® LR is maroon in color, Rulon® LR is a filled PTFE material modified to increase the material’s mechanical properties. The resulting
material exhibits slightly more load capacity than Rulon® AR with a corresponding decrease in flexibility. Rulon® LR is a standard bearing
material and is used in sleeve, flange, thrust, and linear bearing applications.
Rulon® AR is also maroon in color and the original Rulon® material, AR has the best combination of flexibility and load carrying properties.
It is recommended for seal applications. Rulon® AR is a good electrical insulator and has excellent chemical resistance.

Teflon® is available in both “unfilled” and “filled” formulations.
Compounds are added to Teflon® for a variety of reasons,
including improving its wear resistance, reducing creep and initial
deformation, and increasing stiffness or adding conductivity.
Hardness is increased with certain fillers and the coefficient of
thermal expansion may be decreased. Therefore, various filled
compounds of fluoropolymers (Teflon®) are available and make it
possible to gain the advantages of Teflon® in applications where
the unfilled resin is not desirable. Call your Total Plastics specialist
to discuss your particular application.

ACETAL PRODUCTS
For general purpose parts in wet environments.
• Low moisture absorption
• High strength, stiffness
• Easy to machine
• No centerline porosity in Acetron® GP
• Many formulation options such as Copolymer, Homopolymer, PTFE filled and Internally lubricated
or enhanced wear grade
Quadrant Products (POM)
Acetal provides high strength and stiffness coupled with enhanced dimensional stability and ease of machining. As a semicrystalline material, acetal is also characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good wear properties––especially in wet
environments. Because acetal absorbs minimal amounts of moisture, its physical properties remain constant in a variety of
environments. Low moisture absorption results in excellent dimensional stability for close-tolerance machined parts. In high
moisture or submerged applications, acetal bearings outperform nylon 4 to 1. Acetal is ideally suited for close tolerance
mechanical parts and electrical insulators which require strength and stiffness. It also offers resistance to a wide range of
chemicals including many solvents.
Acetron® GP rollers
are light weight with
an ability to bouceback making for tight
tolerances.
ACETRON® GP Acetal (POM-C) is Quadrant’s general purpose copolymer acetal and is the only porosity-free acetal product available today.
ACETRON® GP natural and black are FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy compliant.
DELRIN® Acetal (POM-H), a homopolymer acetal, offers slightly higher mechanical properties than ACETRON® GP Acetal, but may contain a lowdensity center, especially in larger cross-sections. ACETRON® GP Acetal also offers better chemical resistance than homopolymer acetal. Delrin® is
better suited for small diameter, thin-walled bushings that benefit from the additional strength and rigidity of homopolymer acetal.
DELRIN® AF Blend is a unique thermoplastic material for use in moving parts in which low friction and long wear life are important. It is a combination
of PTFE fibers uniformly dispersed in Delrin® acetal resin. This combination offers better wear characteristics than unfilled Delrin®. Delrin® AF Blend,
supplied as a 2:1 blend of Delrin® AF100 and Delrin® 150 resins, has excellent sliding / friction properties. Bearings made of Delrin® AF Blend
can operate at higher speeds while exhibiting reduced wear. These bearings are also essentially free of slip-stick behavior because the static and
dynamic coefficient of friction is closer than with most plastics. Delrin® AF Blend retains 90% of the strength that is inherent in unmodified Delrin®
acetal. Some properties are changed due to the addition of the softer PTFE fiber. The Natural color of Delrin® AF Blend is Dark Brown. Ertalyte® TX
is a better value in many applications where Delrin® AP blend is considered.
DELRIN® AF 100 (unblended) offers a slightly higher limiting PV and lower coefficient of friction due to additional PTFE content. This added PTFE
typically decreases the wear capability and impact strength. Delrin® AF 100 is available on a custom basis.
PET-P PRODUCTS
Has the stability of Acetal.
• Good for both wet and dry environments
• Excellent stain resistance
• High strength and rigidity––ideal for close tolerance parts
• Good wear resistance and excellent dimensional stability
FDA compliant ERTALYTE® TX wears well against
other plastics and metals. It’s solid lubricant reduces
noise and lasts longer than unfilled materials.
ERTALYTE® Rod
ERTALYTE® PET-P (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester
based on PET-P. It is manufactured from proprietary resin grades. It is characterized as having the best dimensional
stability coupled with excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to
moderately acidic solutions. ERTALYTE®’s properties make it especially suitable for the manufacture of precision
mechanical parts which are capable of sustaining high loads and enduring wear conditions. ERTALYTE®’s
continuous service temperature is 210°F and its melting point is almost 150°F higher than acetals. It retains
significantly more of its original strength up to 180°F than nylon or acetal. In addition, ERTALYTE® PET-P offers
good chemical and abrasion resistance. Its low moisture absorption enables mechanical and electrical properties
to remain virtually unaffected by moisture. ERTALYTE® PET-P can be machined to precise detail on standard
metal working equipment. ERTALYTE® is FDA compliant in Natural and Black. Natural ERTALYTE® is also USDA,
3A-Dairy and Canada AG compliant. ERTALYTE® is an excellent candidate for parts used in the food processing
and equipment industries.

FLUOROSINT® PTFE-BASED PRODUCTS
Most dimensionally stable PTFE-based product from Quadrant.
• Chemical resistance parallels PTFE
• Better wear resistance than PTFE
• 1/9 of the deformation under load
FLUOROSINT® 500 Rod
• Continuous use temperatures to 500°F
• Higher load carrying capability
• Lower coefficient of thermal expansion
FLUOROSINT®’s unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is
chemically linked to PTFE. This bonding results in properties not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. FLUOROSINT®
grades offer an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability.
FLUOROSINT® 500 has nine times greater resistance to deformation under load than unfilled PTFE. Its coefficient
of linear thermal expansion approaches the expansion rate of aluminum, and is 1⁄5 that of PTFE––often eliminating
fit and clearance problems. It is 1⁄3 harder than PTFE, has better wear characteristics and maintains low frictional
properties. FLUOROSINT® 500 is also non-abrasive to most mating materials.
FLUOROSINT® 207 has unmatched dimensional stability, excellent creep resistance and its white color uniquely
positions this material to serve FDA regulated applications. It is non-permeable in steam and complies with the FDA’s
regulation 21 CFR 175.300. Its relative wear rate is 1⁄20 the rate of PTFE below 300°F, making it an excellent choice for
aggressive service bearings and bushings. FLUOROSINT® 207 is available on a custom basis at a surcharge.

TECHTRON® & QUADRANT PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
Excels in corrosive environments to 425°F
• Machines to tight tolerances
PPS parts
machined to tight
tolerances reduce
recirculation while
offering wear
resistance.
• Essentially zero moisture absorption
• Excellent alternative to PEEK at lower temperatures
Techtron® and Quadrant PPS products offer the broadest resistance to chemicals of any advanced engineering plastic.
They have no known solvents below 392°F and offer inertness to steam, strong bases, fuels and acids. Minimal moisture
absorption and a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, combined with Quadrant’s proprietary stress relieving
processes, make these PPS products ideally suited for precise tolerance machined components. In addition, PPS products
exhibit excellent electrical characteristics and are inherently flame retardant.
TECHTRON® PPS is unlike reinforced PPS products, because it is easily machined to close tolerances. It is ideal for
structural applications in corrosive environments or as a PEEK replacement at lower temperatures. TECHTRON® PPS is
Off White in color. TECHTRON® PPS is FDA compliant.
TECHTRON® HPV exhibits excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It overcomes the disadvantages of
virgin PPS caused by a high coefficient of friction and of glass fiber reinforced PPS, which can cause premature wear of
the counterface in moving-part applications.
• Excellent wear and frictional behavior
• Very good dimensional stability
• Inherent low flammability
• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
• Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
• Excellent resistance against high energy radiation
QUADRANT GF40 PPS is the most recognized PPS. It is a compression molded analogue to Ryton® R4 resin. It offers
better dimensional stability and thermal performance than TECHTRON® PPS and maintains its strength to above 425°F.
QUADRANT BG PPS (Bearing Grade Ryton®) is internally lubricated and carbon fiber reinforced compression molded
PPS offering a low coefficient of thermal expansion and uncompromised chemical resistance. It is well suited for wear
applications or when an electrically conductive material is required.

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
Chemically resistant structural and bearing and wear material for continuous use to 480°F.
• Inherently good wear and abrasion resistance
• Very low moisture absorption
• Unaffected by continuous exposure to hot water or steam
KETRON® PEEK grades offer chemical and hydrolysis resistance similar to PPS, but can operate at higher temperatures. PEEK 1000 offers steam
and wear resistance, while carbon-reinforced PEEK provides excellent wear capabilities. PEEK HPV, offers outstanding bearing performance. PEEK
can be used continuously to 480°F and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. For hostile environments, PEEK is a high
strength alternative to fluoropolymers. PEEK carries a V-O flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to
flame.
KETRON® 1000 PEEK is a general purpose grade that is unreinforced and offers the highest elongation and toughness of all PEEK grades. The newly
available Black PEEK 1000 is ideal for instrument components where aesthetics are important, as well as for seal components where ductility and
inertness are important. KETRON® 1000 PEEK is FDA compliant.
KETRON® GF30 PEEK (30% Glass Reinforced) has the addition of glass fibers which significantly reduces the expansion rate and increases the
flexural modulus of PEEK. This grade is ideal for structural applications that require improved strength, stiffness or stability, especially at temperatures
above 300°F.
KETRON® CA30 PEEK (30% Carbon Fiber Reinforced) has the addition of carbon fibers to enhance the compressive strength and stiffness of
PEEK, and dramatically lower its expansion rate. It offers designers optimum wear resistance and load carrying capability in a PEEK-based product.
This grade provides more thermal conductivity than unreinforced PEEK–– increasing heat dissipation from bearing surfaces improving bearing life
and capability.
KETRON® HPV PEEK (Bearing Grade) is carbon fiber reinforced with graphite and PTFE lubricants, our newest grade of PEEK offers the lowest
coefficient of friction and the best machinability for all PEEK grades. An excellent combination of low friction, low wear, high LPV, low mating part wear
and easy machining, make it ideal for aggressive service bearings.
TORLON® T4301 PAI
(Bearing Grade) Rod
PAI (Polyamide-Imide)
Stiffness and strength at temperature extremes.
• Maintains strength and stiffness to 500°F
• Minimal expansion rate to 500°F
• Excellent wear resistance in bearing grades
• Able to endure harsh thermal, chemical and stress conditions
DURATRON® PAI (Formerly TORLON®) exhibits versatile performance capabilities and proven use in a broad range
of applications. DURATRON® shapes are offered in extruded and compression molded grades. DURATRON® is the
highest performing, melt processable plastic. It has superior resistance to elevated temperatures. It is capable of
performing under severe stress conditions at continuous temperatures to 500°F. Parts machined from DURATRON®
stock shapes provide greater compressive strength and higher impact resistance than most advanced engineering
plastics. DURATRON® PAI’s extremely low coefficient of linear thermal expansion and high creep resistance deliver
excellent dimensional stability over its entire service range. DURATRON® is an amorphous material with a Tg (glass
transition temperature) of 537°F. DURATRON® stock shapes are post-cured, eliminating the need for additional
curing by the end user in most situations. A post-curing cycle is sometimes recommended for components fabricated
from extruded shapes where optimization of chemical resistance and / or wear performance is required. For large
shapes or custom geometries like tubular bar, compression molded DURATRON® shapes offer designers economy
and flexibility. Another benefit of selecting a compression molded grade is that resins are cured, or “imidized” prior
to molding which eliminates the need to post-cure shapes or parts fabricated from compression molded shapes.
Popular extrusion and injection molding grades of DURATRON® are offered as compression molded shapes.
Typically, you can identify a compression molded grade as having a second digit of “5” in the product name.

ENGINEERING PLASTIC PRODUCTS
DURATRON® CU60 PBI
Best mechanical properties to 800°F.
• Highest mechanical properties of any plastic above 400°F.
• Highest heat deflection temperature 800°F, with a continuous service capability of 750°F in inert environments, or 650°F in air with short
term exposure potential to 1,000°F.
• Lowest coefficient of thermal expansion and highest compressive strength of all unfilled plastics.
DURATRON® CU60 PBI (Formerly CELAZOLE®) is the highest performance engineering thermoplastic available today. It offers the highest
heat resistance and mechanical property retention over 400°F of any unfilled plastic. It has better wear resistance and load carrying capabilities
at extreme temperatures than any other reinforced or unreinforced engineering plastic. As an unreinforced material, DURATRON® PBI is very
“clean” in terms of ionic impurity and it does not outgas (except water), making this material very attractive to semiconductor manufacturers
for vacuum chamber applications. DURATRON® PBI has excellent ultrasonic transparency which makes it an ideal choice for parts such as
probe tip lenses in ultrasonic measuring equipment. DURATRON® PBI is also an excellent thermal insulator. Other plastics in melt do not
stick to PBI, making it ideal for contact seals and insulator bushings in plastic production and molding equipment.
Note: DURATRON® PBI is extremely hard and can be challenging to fabricate. Polycrystalline diamond tools are recommended. Call TPI for
a fabrication guide.
ECOGEHR® Semi-finished Plastics Based on Renewable Resources
ECOGEHR® PLA (Polylactide and polylactic acid) is a linear, aliphatic polyester. PLA is obtained from sugar or starch via fermentation by
micro-organisms. This means that it is a thermoplastic polymer based on renewable raw materials. PLA materials are CO2-neutral due to
the proportion of renewable raw materials. PLA is thermoformable, printable, bondable and weldable. PLA is FDA approved, EN 71-3 and
EN 71-9 approved.
ECOGEHR® PLA-N
ECOGEHR® PLA-V
ECOGEHR® PLA-L
ECOGEHR® PLA-WF
ECOGEHR® C-L is comprised of the wood components cellulose, natural fibres, lignin and fatty acids. It possesses many interesting
properties that together are very similar to natural wood. Consequently, this material is very pleasant to the touch and is easily workable. It
also has a high degree of rigidity (and a tensile module of elasticity up to 616 kpsi). Clearly, its advantages compared with grown wood lie in
the material’s homogeneity. Whereas wood displays density variations resulting from growth rings or imperfections (branches), ECOGEHR®
C-L provides an isotropic material texture and reproducible properties. This 100% renewable material is largely neutral in terms of its CO2
balance, and like wood it can be disposed of via decomposition or burning. C-L is thermoformable, printable and bondable.
ECOGEHR® WPC (Wood-polymer-composites) materials are composites of standard polymers and wood fibres. The excellent binding of
the wood fibres to the polymer gives the materials extremely high mechanical strength. WPC is weather-resistant and can be given antibacterial, fungicidal and UV resistant properties as an option.
ECOGEHR® WPC-30PP
ECOGEHR® WPC-30PE
ECOGEHR® PA are bio-based polyamides (PA) and are obtained from the oil of the castor oil seed. Components of this oil can be isolated,
and can then be incorporated into PA up to a certain percentage or even form the entire basis of a polyamide. With these materials, we can
already offer properties that are compulsory for the industrial use of plastics. With their high continuous use temperatures, these materials
can already be categorized as industrial plastics, and are also suitable for long-term use.

can be used in applications ranging in temperature from +5°F
to +140°F. It can also be easily solvent cemented and welded.
PVC offers low water absorption and high impact strength.
NSF 61 certifications available on a vast range of diameters.
GEHR® PVC Type II has a higher
impact strength at lower temperatures
(-40°F).
Applications: Pumps, valves, seals, pipe systems, bearings,
lamp housings, chemical tanks and dental parts.
GEHR® CPVC (Corzan®) has good mechanical properties at higher temperatures (+200°F) than PVC Type I. CPVC has
80°F higher heat resistance than PVC Type I and is UL rated 94 V-0. It is a homopolymer PVC that has been subjected
to a chlorination reaction. As the chlorine content is increased, the glass transition temperature of the material increases
significantly. Limiting Oxygen Index is 60 which is higher than PVC, ABS, polypropylene, HDPE or PVDF. This means it will
not burn as quickly as these materials in environments less than 60% pure oxygen.
Applications: Higher temperature valve seats and pump components.
GEHR® Poly Pro 30% GF (HiPro®) is a 30% glass filled reinforced homopolymer. It has high dimensional stability, high tensile
strength and high temperature resistance. Heat deflection temperature is +319°F.
GEHR® PVDF (Kynar®) offers a higher tensile strength, pressure resistance and dimensional stability than the unreinforced
PTFE, but friction and insulation properties are lower. PVDF has a high mechanical strength and toughness at lower
temperatures and is self-extinguishing. The temperature ranges from -22°F to +300°F. Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion
is 6.6 x 10-5 in. / in. / °F+ moisture absorption is < .04%, therefore the material is very dimensionally stable. It also has very
good impact and abrasion resistance. PVDF has excellent nuclear radiation resistance and is the material of choice for high
purity fluid handling. It has a high UV resistance and is self-extinguishing. GEHR® PVDF is FDA compliant, USDA & USP
Class VI compliant.
Applications: Pumps, rotation disks, valves, fittings, cog wheels, glide tracks and parts used in chemical processing.
GEHR® ECTFE (Halar®) or Ethylene-Chlortrifluorethylene, exhibits an extraordinary impact strength at temperatures ranging
from -104°F to +302°F. The very smooth surface differentiates HALAR® from other fluoropolymers. Due to the fact that ECTFE
is very pure and has excellent chemical resistance, this material is being used to process chemicals and ultrapure water for
the semiconductor industry. It has a high density and exhibits good moisture and weather resistance. ECTFE has good sliding
and insulation properties. It’s food safe and has high resistance to radiation. ECTFE is much more dimensionally stable than
PTFE and has greater permeation resistance to chlorine gas, carbon dioxide, oxygen and hydrochloric acid.
Applications: Parts which come in contact with aggressive materials, parts in centrifuges and the control engineering industry,
lining of tanks, flanges, pumps and fittings.

Westlake Plastic compression molded sheet is known worldwide and is a preferred sheet, especially for machining and fabrication. When
deciding on a compression molded sheet versus an extruded sheet there are distinct differences. Material stability, sheet size, and surface
finish are all factors to be considered. Westlake compression molded sheets are formed under heat and pressure and produce a very
dimensionally stable, virtually stress-free sheet, ideal for machining and fabrication. When machining close tolerance parts, a fabricator will
experience minimal material movement. Westlake’s sheets have stress levels that are extremely low or nonexistent, in some cases less than
those typically found in the same materials that have been extruded and secondarily annealed. Westlake’s compression molded sheet offers
a wide variety of surface finishes including press polished, haircell and other custom surface textures versus the extruded/annealed sheet
which often has with a rough planed surface.
For medical grade products from WESTLAKE, call Total Plastics Life Sciences Division 1-888-874-1771.
Absylux® ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene)
Absylux® ABS is a low cost engineering plastic ideal for prototyping. It has excellent dimensional stability and lends
itself to all forms of fabrication. It can be painted or glued and in some cases chrome plated.
Kynar® PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride)
Manufactured from Kynar® polyvinylidene fluoride resin, this material offers excellent corrosion and chemical
resistance at both ambient and elevated temperatures. PVDF is also inherently U.V. stable, mechanically tough,
abrasion and flame resistant. Kynar® 1000HD is a whiter grade of PVDF than Kynar® 740.
Pomalux® (Acetal Copolymer)
Pomalux® is a high performance acetal copolymer with excellent mechanical, electrical, and wear properties.
Pomalux® has excellent dimensional stability even with complex geometries. As a bearing surface, it works well in dry
and wet applications. Pomalux® is FDA compliant.
Zelux® (Polycarbonate)
Zelux® polycarbonate has excellent dimensional, mechanical, and electrical properties. It can be polished to a high clarity for sight glasses
and lenses. Zelux® W or window grade comes in thicknesses up to 3”. Zelux® is the clear choice!
Standard WESTLAKE Sheet Sizes: 48” x 96”, 48” x 120” and 60” x 120”.
