Widely used as a protective barrier against abrasion and wear, this UHMW film has a slippery surface that prevents sticking. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.

For adhesive-back film that is FDA compliant, the film meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Film

PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. It resists most solvents and stands up to extreme temperatures. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator.

Film with a coarse texture masks scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints.

Composite Fabrics

Plain Weave

Twill Weave

Use these resin-free fabrics to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering your choice of fabric with an epoxy. The epoxy (sold separately) is a two-part resin that begins to harden in 15 hours and reaches full strength in 4 days. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.

Fabrics with a plain, twill, or triaxial weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than fabrics with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Plain-weave fabrics are more rigid and maintain their shape better than twill-weave fabrics. However, they are not as strong and easy to manipulate as twill- and triaxial-weave fabrics. Twill-weave fabrics are stronger than plain-weave fabrics. They’re also more flexible, making them easier to manipulate into complex shapes. They will not, however, retain their shape as well as plain-weave fabrics.

Carbon-fiber fabrics have the highest strength of all our composite fabrics.

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.
