Pomalux® SD-A is non-carbon-filled, non-migratory, permanently antistatic acetal co-polymer offering surface resistivity of 109 – 1011 ohms/sq which is non-humidity dependent. Natural in color, this material offers enhanced lubricity, provides superior wear resistance, and ease of machining. Exhibiting low outgassing and non-sloughing characteristics, it is optimal for ESD applications where carbon sloughing cannot be accepted.

Pomalux® Polyoxymethylene (POMC) is a high-performance acetal copolymer used for a wide range of applications. Pomalux® has good chemical and high-temperature resistance. As a semi-crystalline material, Pomalux® has good wear resistance and low frictional characteristics.Pomalux® also has low moisture absorption making Pomalux® a good candidate for a wide range of structural and mechanical components that carry or transmit loads in dry or wet environments .

Norylux® Modified Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) is a high strength amorphous engineering thermoplastic offering outstanding mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties along with low moisture absorption and low thermal expansion. Westlake Plastics extrudes and compression molds unfilled and flame-retardant products and compression molds glass reinforced, and glass/mineral filled products.

Amidelux® Polyamide PA is a high performance Polyamide polymer that is unique among the wide variety of Nylon (PA) materials on the market. Amidelux is extruded as a clear, thin sheet that can be thermoformed into finished parts. Amidelux provides the advantages of semi-crystalline product to applications that require clarity. Amidelux provides better clarity, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance than Polycarbonate.

Absylux® is Westlake Plastics’ family of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Absylux® is an economical all-purpose engineering plastic exhibiting good dimensional stability, impact strength, and stiffness. Absylux® is a popular choice for prototyping parts where low volumes and easy machining are required. Absylux® can also be painted and is easy to bond with adhesives. Absylux® is FDA Compliant in natural (beige) and black for food applications.Westlake Plastics proprietary compression molding process provides better dimensional stability and resistance to warpage during machining compared to other extruded ABS sheet products in the marketplace.

Pomalux® CN-P is a conductive acetal co-polymer. It is a carbon powder filled material offering consistent surface resisitivty of 10² – 10⁶ ohms/sq, and also provides enhanced mechanical characteristics including strength and stiffness.

Stock shapes extruded from Ardel® resin are specifically formulated to endure the damaging effects of UV light. When exposed to UV light, the material undergoes a molecular change resulting in the formation of a protective layer that essentially serves as a UV stabilizer. This inherent UV stability combined with superior retention of optical and mechanical properties make polyarylate an ideal choice for any application where weathering effects could pose a problem.

Pomalux® CN-F is conductive acetal copolymer that contains non-sloughing carbon-fibers which not only act to produce a conductive material with surface resisitivty of 102 – 106 ohms/sq, but also provides enhanced mechanical characteristics including strength and stiffness.

Absylux® SD-A is a permanently antistatic Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) with Surface Resistivity of 109 – 1011 ohm/sq). The material is a non-carbon filled product, available in both natural and black color. It is ideal for protection against static discharge in electronic applications where contamination from potential sloughing of carbon powder would be concern. Absylux® SD-A is easy to machine and fabricate.
