Metalized Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film
- Color: See table
- Temperature Range: -50° to 300° F
- Tensile Strength: 28,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
An aluminum coating on one side of this film reflects heat, so it’s widely used as an insulator and in packaging applications. Made of polyester, which is also called PET and PETE, this wear-resistant film is comparable to Mylar.

Color-Coded Shim Stock
This shim stock is color-coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Shim stock is corrosion resistant. Sheets come flat packed.
Plastic shim stock works well in light duty applications. It's easier to cut than aluminum stock.

Reflective Waterproof Tarps
Keep equipment and other objects cool and dry. These tarps are silver on one side to reflect sunlight and black on the other for UV resistance. They have heat-sealed seams to prevent tearing and rope-reinforced hems.
Tarps that are 12 mils thick remain flexible in extremely low temperatures.

Lenses for Ceiling Lights
Lenses disperse light to reduce glare and protect bulbs from damage. Cut to size using a band saw or shears.
Egg crate and parabolic lenses have an open construction to allow more light through than solid lenses as well as more air circulation to cool bulbs. Parabolic lenses are reflective to direct light downward, which reduces glare.
Polystyrene lenses are the most economical, but they may yellow over time.
