ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a common thermoplastic used to make lightweight, rigid products such as automotive parts, piping and laboratory equipment. It is widely used for mechanical purposes, and also has good electrical properties. ABS is strong, rigid and tough and can withstand temperatures between -13 F and 140 F without affecting its impact resistance. Dimensional stability under load of ABS is excellent. ABS is resistant to aqueous acids, alkalis, hydrocholoric and phosphoric acids, alcohols and natural oils.

Acetal products absorb a minimal amount of moisture, and their physical properties remain constant in a variety of environments. Acetals are easily machined and have excellent dimensional stability for close-tolerance machined parts. Acetal is ideally suited for applications which require strength and stiffness. Acetal shapes are produced from copolymer (Acetron GP) and homopolymer (Delrin) resins which provide a high modulus of elasticity coupled with great strength, stiffness and toughness. They are also characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good bearing characteristics.

Cast acrylic rod is regarded for its excellent optical clarity, high tensile strength, and outstanding light transmission. It is easily fabricated, shatter resistant and very durable. It replaces extruded or molded acrylics because of better machining properties, greater clarity, better resistance to heat distortion and higher tensile strength. It is unaffected by sunlight or fluorescent light and resists aging and maintains stability under a wide range of conditions.
