Any man-made solid produced by the fusion or sintering of mineral substances in a kiln or hard, heat resistant substances such as fire clay, bricks or blocks.

Chemicals are the organic or inorganic molecular building blocks used in processing materials and adhesives. Raw materials include fillers, minerals, gases, and specialized chemical additives.

Composites, textiles and reinforcements includes finished composite materials as well as component materials used to construct composites such as matrix resins, fillers, reinforcements, textiles, fibers, reinforcements and core materials.

Materials such as semiconductors or composites with specialized properties for electrical, optical and specialty applications.

Organic or inorganic chemical compound for joining components. Requires clean surface compatible with the adhesive.

Industrial and specialty gases include pure gases and gas mixtures used in welding, medical, semiconductor, analytical laboratory, chemical process, food and beverage, and heat generation applications.

Liquid and viscous compounds used between surfaces to contain fluids, prevent leaks, and prevent infiltration of unwanted material. May also include compounds for filling gaps or seams.

Fluids or oils for heat transfer, lubrication, power transmission or specialized applications.

Any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity and heat, form cations by loss of electrons, and yield basic oxides and hydroxides.

Plastics, elastomers and polymers are organic synthetic or processed materials typically consisting of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins that can be made into or supplied as shapes, film, sheet, rod, tube or fiber.

Refractories, Fireproofing, and Thermal Insulation are specialized foams, mineral wools, textiles, fibers, refractory ceramics, coatings, jacketing and other materials used to provide thermal barriers, heat resistance, flame retardancy, flame suppression, intumescence and/or thermal resistance.

Stock materials such as wire rope, fabrics, stock extrusions, strip, bar or sheet materials.
