Material Selector

The material selector provides access to a material database of metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), polymers (thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers), composites, and ceramics. The database can be filtered by material type and display material properties such as density, hardness, tensile strength, and yield strength. Upper and lower limits can be entered for any material property to filter the results and glossary entries are available for additional information. Lastly, side-by-side comparisons of the material data sheets can be viewed by selecting materials and clicking "Compare".
Acrylic - Acrylic resins are widely known for their superior impact resistance and clarity. Acrylates and methacrylates comprise the two main groups of acrylics, which enjoy widespread use in aerospace, automotive and optical applications.
