Plastics

Engineering Plastics Compared

HDPE

Tough, low-friction, chemical and moisture resistant. Common for plates, packers and marine components.

UHMWPE

Very high abrasion and impact resistance. Suited to wear strips, liners and material handling.

Acetal

Dimensionally stable with good machinability. Used for precision parts, bushes and guides.

Nylon

Strong and wear resistant. Common for rollers, spacers, guides and machine components.

PVC

Rigid and chemically resistant. Suited to tanks, water treatment and general fabrication parts.

Acrylic / Polycarbonate

Clear materials for guards, covers, signage and viewing panels.

PTFE

Very low friction and high temperature resistance for seals, pads and slide components.

Metals

Metals Compared

Aluminium

Light, corrosion resistant and easy to machine. Common for brackets, plates and mounts.

Mild steel

Cost-effective and strong for structural brackets, plates and fixtures.

Stainless steel

Corrosion resistant for marine, food processing and washdown environments.

Galvanised steel

Corrosion-protected steel for external and general industrial applications.

Brass

Machinable, corrosion resistant material for fittings, bushes and detail components.
