Polyethylene
(PE)
Polyethylene is ideal for general applications that are not affected by ordinary solvents. Available in colors. Ultraviolet resistant black
polyethylene is for outdoor use. It has the same qualities as clear polyethylene, but also contains an ultraviolet absorber which
permits it to be used in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Available by special order in gray.

Polyamide 6
(PA6)
Natural polyamide 6 is recommended for use in enclosed environments where the possibility of fire exists. Self-extinguishing. Does
not produce any toxic or irritation, even when exposed to open flame or excessive temperatures. Polyamide 6 is six times as strong
as polyethylene. Black polyamide 6 features the same properties as natural polyamide 6 with the added benefit of an ultraviolet
absorber so that it can be used in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Polytetrafluoroe
-thylene -Teflon
(PTFE)
Polytetrafluoroethylene -Teflon (PTFE) offers the widest operating temperature range of any material. It's chemically inert and non-
flammable. Natural color is milky white, available with special order in black and colors.
