Variety of Plastic Sheets

We offer a broad range of options with the different types of plastics with which we support our clients and in support of our converting services.

If you are in search of plastics sheets for prototyping and processing parts and equipment, the perfect material may be available from our inventory:

  • ABS– an easy material to machine and good for prototype parts
  • Delrin® - typically used for bearings, guides and wear plates, gears, bushings
  • HDPE – high-impact, high density polyethylene with a broad list of uses
  • LDPE – ideally suited for chemical resistant products for use in the food industry
  • Nylon– the hardest of the plastic materials
  • Polycarbonate plastics – Extensively used where impact, clarity, high temperatures, flame retardant and good dielectric properties are priorities
  • PTFE– expanded virgin for use in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and more
  • UHMW– highest impact strength of any thermoplastic

Whether you are searching for FDA grade for use in contact with food, polycarbonate plastics for a great chemically resistant work surface, PTFE to meet a military or other type of specification, or a unique application with critical specifications, call us for technical support.

Call Gardico, Inc. for the finest types of materials, superior services and innovative solutions for clients across all industrial sectors.

PTFE for Gasket Material in Seattle

One of the most interesting uses of PTFE (Teflon®) came about during the Manhattan project in World War II when DuPont’s Teflon® was reserved for purposes of creating nuclear weaponry.

PTFE is one among many plastics we offer, available as glass-filled, mechanical or virgin resin. It is also available in an expanded form for tape and gasket applications.

These are a few of its typical uses:

  • Gaskets – excellent for chemical resistance and temperatures to 500-degrees
  • Mechanical packing/Pump packing – especially for demanding applications
  • Valve stem packing – conforms easily in expanded form
  • Joint sealant – expanded-extruded
  • Applications certified to MIL or other specifications utilizing virgin resin
  • Applications with impurities control -medical, aerospace, electronics, food and drug

The PTFE gasket material in an expanded form can be cut into any required shapes for applications needing chemical resistance and temperatures to 500 degrees.
