Industries We Serve and Material Applications

As an AS9100 and ISO 9001 certified supplier, we offer high-performance plastics like PEEK and DuPont™ Vespel® for aircraft and aerospace industries. Our materials provide cost-saving, weight-reducing solutions while ensuring safety and performance in extreme environments. With expert quality, our products meet regulatory requirements and outperform metals, reducing fuel consumption.

Our engineered plastics meet a unique set of demands that are ideal for Electronics, Communication, and Semiconductor industries. With characteristics like anti-static, self-lubricating, and wide temperature range suitability, our materials ensure compliance and performance. As an authorized DuPont™ Vespel® distributor, we provide authentic products to optimize your application.

High-performance engineered plastics enhance productivity and safety in Food Processing. Resistant to chemicals, moisture, and wear, they outperform metals in conveyors, reducing noise, and increasing speed. Lightweight and FDA compliant, they save energy and ensure direct food contact safety. TECAPEEK UD Blue detects contaminants, preventing costly recalls and protecting the food supply chain.

Along with traditional metals and other materials, machine shops are now often required to work with a variety of engineered plastic for their various projects. Like their metal counterparts, engineering plastic stock shapes can be shaped through milling, drilling, lathe and other operations. Also, thermoplastics can be heat molded, and can be finished into smooth or even polished surfaces.

Delivering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, our engineered plastics are ideal for the Marine industry. From pile wrap and bumpers to swim platforms and hatches, they excel in extreme marine environments. Our lightweight yet durable HDPE Marine Board Sheets feature a textured surface that resists wear, salt water, and UV rays, ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance performance.

Engineered plastics are used for components which are designed to comply with the stringent needs of the medical industry, including elevated hygiene standards, temperature demands, harsh chemicals, and hot steam. Medical grade plastics including PEEK, ULTEM, polycarbonate, and more are available in FDA compliant versions designed specifically to meet strict medical compliance standards.

The versatility of engineered plastics provide weight reductions, corrosion resistance, thermal decoupling, and minimized noise emissions for the Oil & Gas Industry. Plastics like DuPont™ Vespel®, PEEK, and more outperform metals in deep downhole applications because they are designed to withstand harsh environments including chemicals, salts, extreme heat and cold, pressure, and high-velocity.

Patient comfort is key in orthotic and prosthetic devices and engineering plastics are an important part of achieving that. Thermoplastic sheets can be heat formed over plaster molds to create a one of a kind socket fit to the individual. These engineering plastics come in a wide variety of thicknesses, sizes, and characteristics from soft and flexible to extremely rigid and impact resistant.

Engineered plastics are widely used throughout the power distribution industries. These include switchgear, panel boar, transformer and induction heating. We stock a wide range of electrical insulating materials: pultrusions, channel, dogbone rod, pultruded tubing, standoff insulators, and all grades of GPO (including a special Transit Grade GPO-3 developed for the New York Transit Industry).

When it comes to prototyping and product development, engineered plastics are the most widely used resource due to the materials versatility and the ability to create working prototypes that closely match the characteristics of the final product. Many plastics or casting urethanes can be a colored matched to virtually any tint and is a cost-effective solution for creating short runs of parts.

We maintain a broad stock of highly specialized acrylic and polycarbonate mirror (tkAC and ALPOLIC) materials that are FAR rated for use in aircraft and aerospace. Also polycarbonate is proving to be a lightweight replacement for windshields and thermoplastics are useful for heat formed parts while engineering plastic stock shapes provide an excellent alternative to metals for machined parts.
