Compression Molded

ABSYLUX®
ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene)
Absylux ABS is a low cost engineering plastic ideal for prototyping. It has excellent dimensional stability and lends itself to all forms of fabrication. It can be painted or gluded and in some cases chrome plated.

HIPS
(High Impact Polystyrene)
HIPS is a low cost plastic material that is easily machined and fabricated. It is frequently used for preproduction prototyping. HIPS is FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.

KYNAR
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)
Manufactured from Kynar polyvinylidene fluoride resin. This material offers excellent corrosion and chemical resistance at both ambient and elevated temperatures. PVDF is also inherently UV stable, mechanically tough, abrasion and flame resistant. Kynar 1000 is a whiter grade of PVDF than 740.

LENNITE®
UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
Lennite UHMW-PE is a low friction engineering plastic with good chemical and wear resistance. It is widely used in slide bearing applications. It can be machined into complex parts with minimal deformation due to the processing capabilities Westlake Plastics.

NORYLUX®
(Modified Polyphenylene Oxide)
Norylux modified PPO is a strong, engineering plastic with excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Along with its low moisture absorption, Norylux is one of the most dimensionally stable engineering materials available. Common uses include electrical housings, scientific instruments, and fluid handling components.

POMALUX®
(Acetal Copolymer)
Pomalux is a high performance acetal copolymer with excellent mechanical, electrical, and wear properties. Pomalux has excellent dimensional stability even with complex geometries. As a bearing surface, it works well in dry and wet applications. Pomalux is FDA compliant.

DIELUX®
(PTFE filled Acetal Copolymer)
Dielux PTFE filled acetal copolymer is an outstanding bearing and wear material. The PTFE filler allows Dielux to be used without additional lubricants in applications where grease and oil are undesirable in both wet and dry environments. Westlake also has an FDA compliant grade of Dielux.

PROPYLUX®
(polypropylene)
Propylux is made from polypropylene resin. Among its most notable characteristics are its mechanical toughness, chemical resistance, and resistance to abrasion. These properties make it suitable for various applications. Propylux Natural, Void Free, and 944 are FDA compliant.

ZELUX®
(Polycarbonate)
Zelux polycarbonate has excellent dimension, mechanical, and electrical properties. It can be polished to a high clarity for sight glasses and lenses. Zelux® or window grade comes in thicknesses up to 2".
