DuraPeek
(Polyetheretherketone)
DuraPEEK is a high performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic. DuraPEEK's characteristics include high temperature performance, excellent wear properties, superior chemical resistance and outstanding toughness and strength. Currently Westlake is stocking DuraPEEK in film, rod and select sizes of sheet.

ECTFE
(ethylene-chlorotriflouroethylene)
Made from HALAR® ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene resin, these products are virtually unaffected by most common corrosive chemicals. ECTFE products have excellent chemical and mechanical properties, impact strength, and a broad service use temperature. This polymer offers extremely low permeability to liquids, gases, and vapors.

HDPE
(high density polyethylene)
WESTLAKE Ultra Ethylux is made from high density polyethylene resin. This material is a cost effective alternative for a variety of end uses including mild chemical and wear applications.

HIPS
(high impact polystyrene)
HIPS is a low cost plastic material that is easy to machine and fabricate. HIPS is often specified for low strength structural applications when impact resistance, machinability, and low cost are required. It is frequently used machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to fabricate, paint and glue. Natural (translucent white) HIPS is FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.

Kynar® 1000 HD
(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.

Kynar® 2850
(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® 740
(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.

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, and Void Free are FDA compliant.

Propylux® 290
(polypropylene)
Through process improvement and advanced engineering, Westlake Plastics introduces the next generation of heat-stabilized polypropylene. Propylux 290 is produced from a FDA approved homopolymer resin, and exhibits better heat and dimensional stability over Propylux.

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.
