Absylux ABS is a low cost engineering plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. Absylux
is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness
are required. It is widely used for machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent
dimensional stability and is easy to paint and glue. Natural (beige) and black Absylux are
FDA compliant for use in food processing applications.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also has the
ability to process custom resins in various sizes and colors
with some exceptions.
Dielux PTFE filled acetal copolymer is an outstanding bearing and wear material for use in both wet
and dry environments. Dielux is frequently used in place of traditional metal and plastic bearing
materials when low friction, excellent wear properties, and good dimensional stability are required.
The PTFE filler allows Dielux to be used without additional lubricants in applications where grease
and oil are undesirable. The white grade of Dielux is FDA compliant for use in food processing
machinery.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also
has the ability to process custom resins in various sizes
and colors with some exceptions.
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.

Compression molded medical grade UHMWPE is produced in accordance with ASTM F-648
standards for use as an implant grade material and is ISO 5834-1 and ISO 5834-2 compliant for
use in international markets. Westlake compression molded sheets are formed under heat and
pressure, and are slowly cooled to produce a very dimensionally stable, virtually stress-free sheet
ideal for machining and fabrication. When machining close tolerance parts, a fabricator will experience
very little material movement. Our proprietary process provides sheets with inherent stress
levels that are extremely low or nonexistent in some cases than those typically found in the same
materials that have been extruded and secondarily annealed. Westlake production is performed
under clean room conditions in accordance with FDA mandated GMPS. Our quality system is ISO
9001 certified.
Norylux modified PPO is a strong engineering plastic with outstanding mechanical, thermal, and
electrical properties. Low moisture absorption and low thermal expansion make Norylux one of the
most dimensionally stable thermoplastics available. Norylux is widely used for electrical housings
and structural components since it has excellent insulating properties, flame resistance, and
dimensional stability over a wide range of service temperatures. Norylux is often selected for fluid
handling applications since it has low moisture absorption and excellent strength and stiffness.
Norylux is easy to fabricate, paint, and glue.

PEEK is a high performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic. PEEK's characteristics include high temperature performance, excellent wear properties, superior chemical resistance and outstanding toughness and strength. Currently Westlake is stocking PEEK in film, rod and select sizes of sheet.
Pomalux is a high-performance acetal copolymer that has excellent mechanical, electrical, and wear
properties. It is engineered to provide outstanding dimensional stability, even when machining parts
with complex geometries. Pomalux is an excellent choice for many bearing and wear applications
since it has low coefficient of friction and wears well in both wet and dry environments. It is widely
used for assembly jigs and fixtures because of its inherent dimensional stability and excellent wear
properties. Pomalux is often specified for electrical applications when low moisture absorption and
high dielectric strength are required. Both natural (white) and black Pomalux are FDA compliant for
use in food processing machinery. Westlake Plastics Company manufactures all Acetal extruded &
compression molded sheets, plates and rods in accordance to ASTM D6100. This specification covers
requirement and test methods for the material, dimensions, workmanship and the properties of extruded
and compression molded sheets, plates and rods.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake
also has the ability to process custom resins in
various sizes and colors with some exceptions.
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.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also has the
ability to process custom resins in various sizes and colors
with some exceptions.
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.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also has the
ability to process custom resins in various sizes and colors
with some exceptions.
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.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also has the ability to process custom resins in various sizes and colors with some exceptions.
Zelux polycarbonate is an engineering plastic with excellent dimensional stability and good
strength and stiffness over a wide range of service temperatures. Zelux is often used for structural
applications when clarity and impact strength are essential including lenses, manifolds, site
glasses, and machine guards. Zelux is used for a wide variety of electrical applications since it
has low moisture absorption, good insulating properties, and an excellent flammability rating.
Zelux is easy to fabricate, paint, and glue.
