A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity. Use these sheets outdoors as signs, wall panels, canopies, and building cladding. One side is painted black; the painted side is normally exposed.
Easy-to-Machine Aluminum-Nitride Ceramic Sheets and Bars
- Color: Beige
- Max. Temperature: 3,400° F
- Fabrication: Hot Rolled, Sintered
- Electrical Properties: Electrical Insulating
- Dielectric Strength: 1,650 V/mil
- Porosity: 0%
- Compressive Strength: 140,000 psi
Drill and mill precisely shaped heat sinks and other electronic components that require thermal stability. Aluminum nitride is known for both drawing heat away from hot spots and blocking electrical currents. This blend—also known as Shapal Hi-M—includes boron nitride, making these sheets easier to machine than standard aluminum nitride. While the addition of boron nitride slightly decreases its heat transfer and electrical insulating properties, these sheets still perform better than other ceramics.
As aluminum nitride heats up and cools down, it won't expand or contract, keeping its size and shape stable. It won't corrode from molten metal, so you can braze or solder this material to metal. Use it near lithium batteries and other chlorides without it corroding.

Turn and drill intricate components such as heat sinks, fixture parts, and other electronics parts where thermal stability is important. Aluminum nitride both draws heat away from hot spots and block electrical currents. Also known as Shapal Hi-M, this blend includes boron nitride, so these rods are easier to machine than standard aluminum nitride. The addition of boron nitride slightly decreases heat transfer and electrical insulating properties; but this material still performs better than other ceramics.
Aluminum nitride won’t expand or contract as it heats up and cools down—its size and shape remains stable. Braze or solder this material to metal—it won't corrode from molten metal. You can use this material near lithium batteries and other chlorides without it corroding.
Blank Signs
Fill in the blank with your own custom warnings, labels, and messages. You can write on these signs with markers, add color with paint, or stick on adhesive-back characters. Many even work with printers.
Plain Back
More than twice as thick as our other blank signs, these are a good option for freestanding signs and displays.
Also known as Alumalite, aluminum signs with a corrugated polypropylene core are lightweight and the most durable signs we offer. Designed for use as permanent signs, they stand up to severe weather without bending or warping. You see them in parking lots and along the side of the road on sign posts identifying buildings and directing visitor traffic. Print on them with a silkscreen or digital printer. They have a polished appearance that lasts for years without cracking or peeling. Customize your sign's shape with a saw, router, or CNC machine. All are UL recognized for use in electrical systems, such as illuminated signs.

Corrosion-Resistant 3000 Series Aluminum Honeycomb Panels
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: Not Rated
A honeycomb core is bonded between two aluminum sheets for rigidity. These panels offer a higher strength-to-weight ratio than solid sheets, so they're often used as a lightweight alternative to solid aluminum. They're also used for sound insulation. They are painted white and covered with a protective peel-off film. 3000 series aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability.

Composite Fiber Aluminum Honeycomb Panels
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: Not Rated
An aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between carbon fiber keeps these sheets strong yet lightweight. The carbon fiber facing gives you the same strength as a honeycomb panel that's entirely made from aluminum but without the weight. Compared to aramid honeycomb panels, these panels have better shear strength. These panels are often used in the automotive and aerospace industry in place of solid aluminum sheets thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratio.
