As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Sanitizing Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sheet [X]
Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sneeze Guards and like products require special care while cleaning and disinfecting. To maintain the optical clarity of sneeze guards and other acrylic or polycarbonate items, use an acrylic or polycarbonate safe cleaner like Novus Plastic Polish #1, Brillianize Plastic Cleaner, or a mild soap solution.
Please reference the following compatible cleaners when DISINFECTING acrylic and polycarbonate items. The use of commonly available commercial alcohol or ammonia-based disinfectants may cause crazing and damage.
Polyphenylene Sulfide sheet and rod, otherwise known as PPS and also sold under Quadrant's brand Techtron® PPS, is a partially crystalline material that offers high mechanical performance and excellent heat and chemical resistance, with service temperatures that range up to 464? F. Excellent hardness, rigidity, dimensional stability and creep resistance make PPS a popular material in industrial, construction and automotive industries.
Due to impressive strength and cost-effectiveness, PPS bridges the gap between partially crystalline materials and PEEK plastic. Generic PPS sheet and rod comes available in virgin (unfilled) or 40% glass-filled grades.
Features
Due to high strength and rigidity, PPS and Techtron® PPS sheet and rod are commonly used as components in equipment construction, pump parts, fan elements, impellers, valve balls/seats/seals and motor vehicle parts. PPS is many times used as an alternative to aluminum, steel, and other high-temperature thermoplastics used in forming large shaped parts.
Excellent strength and hardness
Very high rigidity
Resistance to chemicals and high heat deformation
High dimensional stability
Very good electrical insulation properties
High resistance to the effects of weather, near zero moisture absorption
High hydrolysis resistance in the case of non-reinforced types

Minimums were too high.

The polyphenylene has exceptional creep resistance at high temperatures. It was easy to order online and the material came in 4 days.

Works as a great aluminum replacement for us. We would have never come across it if it weren't for the help of Interstate Plastics. Thank you, -William

Expensive to ship but justified by the cheap price.

Interstate Plastics is the only source I know for PPS. It's not cheap but they do a good job with shipping and customer service. We are happy customers!
