Free Shipping On All UK Orders
Industrial Polymers UK is a British supplier of engineering plastics, rubber, acrylic, shower screen seals and site safety products. We stock over 2,000 product lines, cut material to size in-house, and ship across the United Kingdom from our facility in Burnley, Lancashire.
We supply the materials that keep British industry running — and the small replacement parts that keep homes and buildings working.
We are a UK materials supplier serving engineers, fabricators, maintenance teams, facilities managers, contractors and homeowners. Our catalogue spans semi-finished engineering plastics such as acetal, nylon, PTFE, PEEK and HDPE; acrylic and polycarbonate glazing; industrial rubber and foam; anti-slip matting and ground protection; impact and site safety products; and one of the largest ranges of shower screen seals and spares available in the UK.
Two things connect that range. First, everything we sell is a polymer-based solution to a practical problem — wear, friction, corrosion, impact, water ingress or slip risk. Second, we sell it the way professionals actually buy: cut to your size, priced per piece or per metre, with samples available before you commit to a full sheet.
Our catalogue is organised into the departments below. Each one is stocked, cut and dispatched from the UK.
Sheet, rod, tube and profile in acetal, nylon, PTFE, PEEK, HDPE, UHMWPE, polypropylene, PVC, PVDF, PET and phenolic laminate — the workhorse materials for bearings, bushes, wear strips, gears, guides and chemical-resistant components.
Replacement wipe seals, gap seals, magnetic seals, bifold and channel seals, fin seals, brush strips, rollers, handles and support bars — indexed by glass thickness from 3mm to 12mm so you can match the part you already have.
Cast and extruded acrylic sheet, rod, tube, mirror, balls and cubes in clear, tinted and opal finishes for glazing, display and signage applications.
Dock and HGV bumpers, wall and corner guards, stair nosings, anti-slip strips, traffic calming, wheel stops and cable and hose ramps that remove trip hazards on site, in warehouses and at events.
Correx corrugated sheet, foam PVC, GRP and composite panel, PVC cladding and floor protection materials for fit-outs, refurbishments and temporary protection.
Solid SBR, neoprene sponge, silicone and self-adhesive rubber in sheet and strip form, plus PVC strip curtains for doorways, chillers and workshop bays.
Anti-fatigue and anti-slip industrial matting, barefoot and pool matting, roof walkway protection, access mats, outrigger pads and grass and ground reinforcement.
Line marking, floor and protective coatings for car parks, warehouses and external hard standing, alongside floor preparation materials.
Food grade plastics suitable for food contact, cutting and handling applications, plus commercial catering and janitorial equipment including stainless steel sinks and tabling.
If you know the grade you need, you can order it directly. If you only know the problem, tell us the application and we will recommend a material.
Most customers do not want a full sheet. Our machining and fabrication service covers more than 280 lines and lets you buy material at the size you actually need, which removes offcut waste and the cost of processing it yourself.
Specifying the wrong material or the wrong seal profile is expensive. We would rather you checked first.
Almost every seal in our shower range can be ordered as a 25mm sample for £4.99 with free UK delivery, so you can offer it up to your screen before buying a full length. Material samples are also available across our engineering plastics range — 3mm and 5mm sheet offcuts and 10mm and 20mm rod sections in acetal, nylon, HDPE, PTFE, PVC, UHMWPE, acrylic, polycarbonate, polypropylene and Tufnol®.
We supply single items to homeowners and scheduled volumes to national contractors, on the same terms of service.
We hold the material we list, which is why we can cut it to size and dispatch it quickly rather than quoting an indefinite lead time.
Tell us the temperature, the load, the chemical exposure or the glass thickness, and we will tell you which grade or profile fits — including when a cheaper option will do the job.
A single seal, one metre of strip or a pallet of sheet. The specification service is the same either way.
Prices are published on every product page in GBP, with cut-to-size options costed up front rather than added after you have ordered.
Orders leave our Burnley facility for delivery throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Products are catalogued by material, form, thickness and application, so the part you bought last year is easy to find and reorder.
These and more are answered in full on our frequently asked questions page.
