Stock shapes extruded from Ardel® resin are specifically formulated to endure the damaging
effects of UV light. When exposed to UV light, this unique material undergoes a molecular
rearrangement resulting in the formation of a protective layer that essentially serves as a UV
stabilizer. This inherent UV stability combined with superior retention of optical and mechanical
properties make polyarylate an ideal choice for any application where weathering effects could
pose a problem.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also
has the ability to process custom resins in various sizes
and colors with some exceptions.
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.
High resistance to heat and combustibility, low smoke emission, and transparency are the
combination of properties possessed by stock shapes extruded from PES. These, coupled with
light weight, good impact resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance, make stock
shapes extruded from PES resin useful in the electrical/electronics, aerospace/aircraft,
automotive, and mass transit industries. PES stock shapes are also applicable for heat and fire
safety, food service, and hospital and health care items.

has the ability to process custom resins in various sizes
and colors with some exceptions.
Stock shapes extruded from Radel® R resins offer a superior combination of high performance
properties that include excellent thermal stability, outstanding toughness, and good environmental
stress cracking resistance. These properties make Radel® R stock shapes attractive for a variety
of demanding applications. The standard color of Radel® R is off white, but a transparent grade
is available.
*In addition to our standard capabilities, Westlake also
has the ability to process custom resins in various sizes
and colors with some exceptions.
An amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide, stock shapes from ULTEM® resin possess a
combination of useful characteristics, including high strength at elevated temperatures, high
modulus, and broad chemical resistance. Tempalux stock shapes are inherently flame resistant
with low smoke emission. Tempalux stock shapes display property retention and resistance to
environmental stress cracking when exposed to a wide variety of chemicals. The standard
color of Tempalux stock shapes is light amber. Glass filled grades appear tan or greenish in color.
Tempalux rod, slab, and tubular bar are air annealed for stress relief.

Made from UDEL® polysulfone resin, these stock shapes remain stable, resisting creep and
deformation under continuous load and elevated temperatures. They have high tensile strength
and, as temperatures increase, flexural modulus remains high. Thermalux products will withstand
exposure to soap, detergent solutions and some hydrocarbon oils, even at elevated temperatures
under moderate stress levels.
