Cast Acrylic is a rigid, hard thermoplastic material that is characterized by its color range availability and easy fabrication.Cast Acrylic has excellent UV stability and is suitable for sign manufacture, Point of Sales display units, safety glazing, machine enclosures and model manufacture.
PTFE has useful mechanical properties from cryogenic temperatures at 500° F (280° C) continuous service temperatures. Its coefficient of friction is lower than almost any other material. It also has a high oxygen level.
