About Plastic Plate, Rod and Stock Shapes

Plastic plate, rod and stock shapes include shaped plastic parts and plastic stock. Most plastic parts are fabricated via molding, casting, extrusion, pultrusion, machining, thermal forming, plastic welding, blow molding, and grinding processes. Plastic plate, rod and stock shapes are available in bar, film, flat, hex, plate, profile, rod, round, sheet, shim, and sphere form. Size specifications for plastic plates, plastic rods, and semi-finished plastic shapes vary by stock type. For example, plastic shapes such as bars, rods, plates and tubes are specified according to overall thickness, overall width or outer diameter (OD), and overall length. Inner diameter (ID) is an important specification for tubes and other hollow stock shapes. Some plastic plate, rod and stock shapes provide anti-static or electrostatic discharge (ESD) control, or shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Others are flame retardant, flexible, dampening, or approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Plastic plates, plastic rods and plastic shapes that provide electrical and/or thermal insulation are also available.

Products & Services Related to Plastic Plate, Rod and Stock Shapes

Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants

Anaerobic adhesives and anaerobic sealants cure in the absence of air or oxygen.

Cyanoacrylate Adhesives

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part acrylate adhesives that cure instantly on contact with mated surfaces through a reaction with surface moisture. Cyanoacrylates are often called super glues.

Hot Melt Adhesives

Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free chemical compounds that are used to join materials. They can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened or set by cooling, allowing parts to be removed or repositioned during assembly.

Plastic and Rubber Balls

Plastic and rubber balls are sphere shapes that are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications.

Polymers and Plastic Materials

Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.

Rubber Adhesives and Sealants

Rubber adhesives and sealants are highly flexible, natural or synthetic materials that are used to join components or fill gaps between seams or on surfaces.

Thermal Compounds and Thermal Interface Materials

Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.
