Elastomers and Rubbers

Families and grades of both thermoset and thermoplastic rubber are now available to serve in almost any environment.


Engineering Materials

Today's design engineer's "toolbox" includes carbon, ceramics, glass, and noise-control materials to complement traditional construction materials.


Coatings, Platings, and Finishes

The main job of coatings, whether they are simple paints or sophisticated sputtered films, is to protect substrates from damage in service environments.


Composites

Reinforcements allow designers to tailor materials that will meet specific requirements.


Metals - Ferrous:

As the most abundant of all commercial metals, alloys of iron and steel continue to cover a broad range of structural applications.


Metals - Nonferrous:

Nonferrous metals offer a wide variety of mechanical properties and material characteristics.


Plastics

Polymers continue to advance into engineering applications that range from automotive and aerospace to medical and electrical.
