Plate

Plate is what you order when sheet is not thick enough. Once a part needs real section- machined blocks and fixtures, wear pads and bearing plates, structural gussets, tank and hopper linings, press platens, or anything that has to carry load without flexing- the job calls for plate, and the material is usually compression-molded or cast rather than extruded to keep it flat and stress-free through that thickness.

Colorado Plastic Products stocks plastic plate in the materials heavy sections are specified in: UHMW and HDPE for abrasion and impact, cast nylon and acetal for machined mechanical parts, polypropylene and PVDF for corrosive service, and high-performance grades like PEEK where temperature and load meet. We cut plate to your dimensions, including blanks sized for a specific part, so you are not buying a full slab to machine one fixture. Questions about flatness, internal stress, or how a thickness will behave after machining are worth asking before you cut- ask us.
