Polyslick® UHMW Sheet exhibits the properties of excellent impact strength, abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, as well as very good chemical resistance. This industrial grade material is also moisture, stain and odor resistant, and is FDA approved to be used in the food processing industry. The material is ideally suited for wear applications especially in contact with metals. UHMW is widely used in industrial applications such as chute linings, dock bumpers, paper machine parts, and conveyor wear strips and can easily be machined with ordinary wood working tools.

MECHETEC® PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) is a non-reinforced highly crystalline fluoropolymer that combines exceptional chemical resistance with superior strength and stability. When compared with traditional fluoropolymers like PTFE, MECHETEC® PVDF offers up to three times the typical strength and stiffness while maintaining unparalleled resistance to even the harshest chemicals—even at temperatures up to 300°F. These properties, along with its natural flame retardency (UL94, V-0) and ultrahigh purity have made it the material of choice for processing equipment components used in semiconductor manufacturing clean room environments. Because it also offers excellent toughness and electrical properties that remain stable over a wide range of both frequencies and temperatures, MECHETEC® PVDF is also often used in components used for power transmission. MECHETEC® PVDF is offered in two grades; MECHETEC® PVDF 740 (beige) and MECHETEC® PVDF 1010 (white). Both grades machine easily and are available in a full range of heavy gage rod and plate sizes. Formally known as Uninar PVDF.

POLYSLICK BUS CURB is a custom formulated synthetic fender designed to reduce street curb and transit station curb damage as well as reduce damage to bus wheels and tires. Damage typically occurs when drivers are executing "precision or close docking". This safety oriented action is required to reduce the gap between the curb or station platform and the boarding floor of the bus. POLYSLICK BUS CURB allows busses to impact and glide smoothly along the curb face achieving a minimal and safer boarding gap while protecting the curb and bus. Our standard high visibility colors are consistent and UV stabilized throughout the material so they permanently enforce the bus zone. No more painting!.

Since its introduction in 1938, Nylon has become one of the world’s most widely recognized and utilized engineering grade thermoplastics. Nylon’s unique combination of high strength, good toughness, outstanding chemical resistance, and excellent wear and abrasion resistance have made it the material of choice for product designs in a multitude of industries. When used to replace wear grade metals like brass and bronze, no other material provides the combination of extended wear life, light weight, and low fabricated part cost of Nylon. Polymer Industries manufactures MECHETEC® Nylon stock shapes in a wide variety of types and stock shape configurations including glass filled and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 or moly) filled options. Formally known as Unipa Nylon. For more Info : Click Here

MECHETEC® PEEK ( Polyetheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline high temperature thermoplastic that offers design engineers a truly unique combination of exceptional performance characteristics. When compared with other engineering polymers, this material ranks as the best or nearly the best in every performance category. MECHETEC® PEEK has a relative thermal index of 480°F and has a UL 94 flammability rating of V-0, with very low levels of smoke generation and toxic gas emission. Additionally, this material exhibits excellent electrical properties, which remain stable over a wide range of both temperatures and frequencies. MECHETEC® PEEK is chemically resistant to a wide range of organic and inorganic liquids and is insoluble in all common solvents. In addition, it is unaffected by steam and hot water and has a very low moisture absorption rate. This material offers superior dimensional stability and machines easily. While unfilled MECHETEC® PEEK offers good wear resistance, Polymer Industries also offers MECHETEC® PEEK with glass fiber filled options as well as Carbon and Teflon filled options. Formally known as Unitrex Peek. For more Info : Click Here

Polymer Industries' Densetec® LDPE Sheet is a material that's soft, flexible, and tough, even at low temperatures. Because of the fact that Densetec® LDPE has very good formability traits and is very pliable, it is an ideal material for the orthotics and prosthetics industry. Densetec® LDPE has very good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption which makes it ideal for the chemical industry. Densetec® LDPE also has exceptional environmental stress crack resistance properties.

MECHETEC® PET from Polymer Industries is a semi-crystalline polyester terephthalate (PET) polymer that exhibits excellent strength, rigidity, and is easily machined. Additionally, this material offers dimensional stability and wear resistance that meets or exceeds that of nylon or acetal. Due to it’s superior chemical resistance and food contact approvals, MECHETEC® PET stock shapes are the preferred material for components in food processing applications such as pistons, valves, feed screws, and food product forming and extrusion dies. Additionally, the low moisture absorption and low rate of thermal expansion offered by MECHETEC® PET makes it ideal for demanding applications that require close tolerance, precisely machined component parts. Formally known as Unipet PET. For more Info : Click Here

Polyslick® Rocket Plate is a 100% virgin UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) sheet product with hemispherical nodules on one side designed to reduce surface contact facilitating easier movement and rotation of heavy material in any direction. Low friction, lightweight, impact resistant, and cost effective are just some of Rocket Plate's features along with being easy to install and requiring virtually no maintenance.

Traditional wooden cutting boards are no match for boards fabricated with Densetec® Cutting Board from Polymer Industries. Wood and other materials absorb bacteria, splinter, chip, swell, peel, rot, warp, bend and crack. Densetec® Cutting Board eliminates those problems, substantially outlasting cutting boards made from materials other than HDPE. Densetec® Cutting Board is engineered for durability, low maintenance and safety. Its textured, matte surface safely holds food in place without slipping. The "natural" bright white color is favored for its sanitary look. Knives stay sharp when cutting on Densetec® Cutting Board. Instead of striking a rigid surface that dulls the blade, Densetec® Cutting Board gives on contact. Because of its unique molecular structure, cuts seal and become indiscernible. Over time, using Densetec® Cutting Board can lead to significant savings when compared with other materials. Densetec® colored cutting board is the perfect choice to help prevent cross contamination of food borne pathogens such as salmonella and E-coli. By color coding the food to the color of the cutting board such as blue for fish, red for red meat, yellow for poultry, etc., the risk of spreading these dangerous microorganisms is greatly diminished.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® HMW is the extruded material needed when Densetec® HDPE is not enough and Polyslick® UHMW is not necessary. Densetec® HMW has higher impact strength than HDPE and is more abrasion resistant. The fact that Densetec® HMW is more wear resistant than standard HDPE, and is more economical than standard UHMW makes it the ideal material for wear applications and machined parts. It may also be used in applications such as snowplow linings and fertilizer spreaders.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® HDPE Pipe Grade is a higher molecular weight material than our standard Densetec® HDPE. The material displays improved performance characteristics in a variety of piping applications. In addition, the material is UV stabilized and ideal for use in demanding outdoor applications.
