FEP Rods & Sheets
FEP Rods & Sheets
FEP is a relatively soft thermoplastic with lower tensile strength, wear resistance, and creep resistance than many other engineering plastics. However, FEP is chemically inert and has a low dielectric constant over a wide frequency range. FEP possesses a very high degree of stress crack resistance, a low coefficient of friction, exceptional dielectric properties, heat resistance, retention of properties after service at 400°F (204°C) with useful properties at -454°F (-270°C), and meets FDA 21CFR.177.1550. FEP has high transparency (with good transmittance of UltraViolet and visible wavelengths.) FEP offers the lowest refractive index of all thermoplastics with low light reflection (the same as water.)
- FEP stands for Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene.

![Last-A-Foam® FR-3700 Series Performance Core]( "Last-A-Foam® FR-3700 Series Performance Core")
Last-A-Foam® FR-3700 Series Performance Core
Last-A-Foam® FR-3700 Performance Core Series - FR-3700 is a CFC-free, rigid, closed-cell, flame-retardant polyurethane foam available in densities ranging from 3 to 40 pounds per cubic foot. It exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio due to its cellular structure and cross-linked resin. Because of its closed-cell structure, LAST-A-FOAM FR-3700 has great resistance to water absorption, and will not swell, crack, or split on exposure to water. It particularly supports the following industries:
Aerospace
FR-3700 meets the requirements of aircraft BMS 8:133. This rigid, polyurethane foam is comparable to the FR-6700 in strength, temperature resistance and flammability performance. However, the FR-3700 is tougher (less friable) for cutting crisper edges.
Medical
High-density rigid polyurethane FR-3700 foam is used to simulate human bone as a test medium within the medical device industry.
Nuclear
FR-3700 foams are chosen for nuclear material applications and transportation of extremely hazardous waste. When used as an impact- and fire-insulation liner in transport containers, FR-3700 can be engineered to provide the ultimate in fire and collision protection for hazardous cargo, outperforming wood and other polymeric materials. The FR-3700 formulation is specially designed to allow predictable impact-absorption performance under dynamic loading. At the same time, it provides an intumescent char layer that insulates and protects hazardous materials, even when exposed to pool-fire conditions.
Radomes:
Use LAST-A-FOAM® 3700 Performance Core Series for constructing durable, weatherproof radomes. Impervious to moisture and transparent to radio signals, they protect marine, aerospace and recreational microwave antennas. Their high Tg suits prepregs that cure at higher temperatures.
In particular, our FR-3700 foam has a solid history of successful use in radioactive materials (RAM) transportation packages. The regulations governing RAM packages often require energy absorption of 30-foot free drops and exposure to a 1,475°F, 30-minute fire under accident conditions. Our FR-3700 series foam is one of very few materials that can support the RAM package design in mitigating both mechanical and thermal energy.
Applications: - Models and design prototypes - Composite core, especially where flame retardation is important - Honeycomb edge closeout for aircraft interior sandwich panels used in overhead storage bins, passenger cabin class dividers, galleys and lavatories - Radioactive materials (RAM) transportation packages - Impact- and fire-insulation liner for hazardous waste containers - Vacuum form dies and mold patterns - Artificial human bone test media - Core material for composite prostheses - Load bearing

![Plexiglass Sheet - Acrylic Sheets - CAST]( "Plexiglass Sheet - Acrylic Sheets - CAST")
Plexiglass Sheet - Acrylic Sheets - CAST
CAST Acrylic Sheets -are offered in Clear, Black, White, Grey, Bronze, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green and more. Acrylic applications include: picture frames, store displays, furniture, shelving, windows, barriers, shields, replacement glass and aquariums. Clear Acrylic is optically transparent, unaffected by moisture, and offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, and can be easily heat-formed without loss of optical clarity. Prolonged exposure to moisture, or even total immersion in water, does not significantly effect its' mechanical or optical properties.
Why use CAST Acrylic verses EXTRUDED Acrylic ?
- Continuous Service Temp: 180° F (Cast) vs. 160° F (Extruded)
- Formability Temp: 340° F to 380° F (Cast) vs 290° F to 320° F (Extruded)
- Cast acrylic has a higher molecular weight, therefore it will cut, drill and rout cleaner.
- When machining cast acrylic, shavings will flake off whereas extruded acrylic shavings may gum up on the tool.
- Cast acrylic also offers better glue-joint effectiveness and performs better in laser cutting.

PTFE Film (.002 to .025 thick)
PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), it is a fluorocarbon-based polymer that exhibits astonishing chemical resistance and ultra high-purity. Self-lubricating and with a low friction coefficient, PTFE is suited for the manufacture of high-temperature seals, insulators and bearings used in semiconductor, aerospace & chemical processing industries. PTFE's mechanical properties are low compared to other plastics, and can be used over a wide temperature range of -100°F to +400°F (-73°C to 204°C). Mechanical properties are often enhanced by adding fillers. It has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties and a low coefficient of friction. PTFE is very dense and cannot be processed by melting. PTFE must be compressed and sintered to form useful shapes.

![PTFE Sheet & Rod (Virgin Grade)]( "PTFE Sheet & Rod (Virgin Grade)")
PTFE Sheet & Rod (Virgin Grade)
PTFE is a fluoropolymer that exhibits astonishing chemical resistance and ultra high-purity. Self-lubricating and with a low friction coefficient, PTFE sheets and rods are ideally suited for the manufacture of high-temperature seals, insulators and bearings used in semiconductor, aerospace & chemical processing industries. PTFE's low coefficient of friction makes it suitable for applications where sliding action of parts is needed: such as plain bearings, gears, and slide plates. In these applications, it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal; and is comparable to UHMW. PTFE however can be used over a far wider temperature range than these materials; -100°F to +400°F (-73°C to 204°C) and offers superior electrical insulation properties. Although its' mechanical properties are low compared to other engineering plastics, those properties can be enhanced through the use of additives such as Carbon, Graphite, Bronze, and Glass Fiber. The most commonly known brand name of PTFE-based formulas is Teflon® by Chemours
