Due to its ability to resist breaking upon impact, ABS is a common choice for protective applications such as equipment housings.

PTFE is noted for its chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. PTFE also has a slippery surface which makes it an ideal choice for parts that slide and roll, such as bearings and gears. The glass filling increases its strength and rigidity, making it better suited for high stress situations.

UHMW has outstanding abrasion, wear, and impact resistance. This oil-filled grade has self-lubrication to provide a more slippery surface. UHMW is commonly fabricated into conveyers, machine guards, and equipment housings.

HDPE has good impact and moisture resistance. It is has good machinability and is often used to make plugs and seals. This marine grade has a coarse textured surface that enhances its resistance to abrasions.

Polycarbonate has excellent impact strength and clarity. It is commonly used in signs, windows, and machine guards. This grade of polycarbonate also has a special coating that improves its resistance to abrasion and UV light, which is a common requirement for outdoor applications.
