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.

Ceiling Leak Drainage Tarps

Protect work areas and equipment from overhead leaks with these rot- and chemical-resistant tarps. They hang from D-rings sewn into each corner. 12'×12' and larger tarps also have D-rings at the center of each side. To drain, connect the threaded drain spout to any standard garden hose.

Polyester and polyethylene tarps stay flexible in low temperatures.

Polyethylene tarps are silver on the side that faces the ceiling, and the exposed side is black.

Reflective Waterproof Box-Shaped 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. Their box shape provides a snug fit while protecting machinery and other objects. They resist tears, water, and rot, and remain flexible in extremely low temperatures.

For tarps in other sizes, please specify the width, length, and height you need, as well as the total square ft.: (Lg.×Ht.×2) + (Wd.×Ht.×2) + (Lg.×Wd.).

Heat-Reflecting Air Bubble Duct Insulation Sheets

Temperature Range: -60° to 180° F
Heat Flow Rate: Not Rated
Density: Not Rated
Color: Silver
Specifications Met: ASTM E84 20/30 for Flame and Smoke

Typically used as duct wrap, these flexible sheets consist of polyethylene bubbles covered with aluminum polyester foil that prevent 96% of heat from radiating into or away from duct. Use on rectangular and round ductwork.

Lenses for Ceiling Lights

Parabolic

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.
