HDPE

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a highly versatile plastic material that finds use in a wide range of industries and applications. HDPE is a cost-effective option that offers excellent tensile strength, impact resistance, and resistance to chemicals in corrosive environments. It is especially suitable for applications involving contact with food, as it meets FDA/BfA requirements and has a low rate of liquid absorption. HDPE is available in plastic sheet and rod, cut to size material and engineered plastic components.

UHMWPE

In the same polyethylene family as HDPE, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is dense, strong and abrasion-resistant. It’s especially well suited for holding up against wear from constant friction between moving parts. UHMWPE is fairly low cost and can be used for a wide variety of applications. Though it can be fabricated and machined, it’s not as well suited to forming specific shapes as HDPE. However, it is generally able to hold up better against friction and wear over time. Relevant for food related applications, UHMWPE is compliant with FDA/BfA requirements and is physiologically inert. UHMWPE is available in plastic sheet and rod, cut to size material and engineered plastic components.

Enhanced grades of UHMWPE include GLB and Lube X. Through the use of additives, GLB (Glass Bead Filled) and Lube X (Self-Lubricating) have increased abrasion resistance and sliding properties for harsh applications.

NYLON – PA

Nylon PA is produced through two methods: cast and extrusion. Cast Nylon demonstrates higher molecular weight and higher crystallization than extruded Nylon. Typically, Nylon is known for its high mechanical strength, good wear resistance, sliding function, and great machinability. In contrast to polyethylene products, Nylon absorbs moisture and is prone to expansion; as a result, it is not recommended for wet environments. Each grade of Nylon is manufactured to have different characteristics, such as self-lubrication, wax-filled, UV resistance, and more. Nylon is available in plastic sheet and rod, cut to size material and engineered plastic components.

ACETAL – POM

Acetal (POM-C) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with good dimensional stability and frictional properties. It contains high mechanical strength, toughness and provides an ease of machining not present in other plastics. Acetal is primarily for customers in which precision componentry with small tolerances are of importance. In contrast to Nylon, Acetal provides very low moisture absorption, making it a necessity for applications within a submerged or wet environment. This is due to its ability for mechanical properties to be maintained through wet or harsh environments. Chemically resistant, Acetal is also a great choice for corrosive conditions. Acetal is available in plastic sheet and rod, cut to size material and engineered plastic components.

POLYESTER – PET

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a plastic material with high crystallinity, offering excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability. It also has good sliding properties, wear resistance, and electrical properties. PET is known for its ability to maintain its mechanical and electrical characteristics even when exposed to moisture, making it a popular choice for applications where moisture resistance is important. Due to its properties, PET is often used as a lightweight and cost-effective replacement for traditional metals. PET is available in plastic sheet and rod, cut to size material and engineered plastic components.

To enhance the mechanical properties of PET, a solid PTFE lubricant is added to the basic polyethylene terephthalate polymer, creating TYNALYTE-ZX.
