    Ultra-Machinable Delrin® Acetal Strips

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Machinable Delrin® Acetal Strips.
    These strips resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be easily machined to close tolerances. They also have a naturally slippery, wear-resistant surface. Use them to make precision gears, bushings, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

    Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Sold Individually.
    Cut into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    Ultra-Chemical-Resistant PTFE—The most chemical-resistant shim stock we offer, it stands up to the widest range of harsh acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners, even at temperatures up to 500° F. It also won't mar delicate surfaces.
    Plastic—Softer than metal, it won't mar delicate surfaces and it will never rust.

    Highly Moisture-Resistant HDPE Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Highly Moisture-Resistant HDPE Film.
    The high-density construction translates into a durable film that’s more chemical and water resistant than LDPE film. This woven film is also tear and puncture resistant, so it’s often used for tarps and machine covers.

    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Film Made from Teflon® PTFE

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Film Made from Teflon® PTFE.
    This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator. PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.
    Skived—Cut from a solid block of material to create a dense product with consistent thickness. However, skived products are more prone to curling than extruded or molded products.
    Etched Texture—Products with an etched texture have one side that’s scuffed to readily accept an adhesive; the other side is smooth.

    Stick these discs onto breather and other circular vents to guard against water and dirt without obstructing flow. Often used in the electronic and automotive industries, they have very small holes so air, gas, and vapor can still pass through. These discs are made of PTFE to wick water away. They also won’t break down from most chemicals, except alkali metal and high-temperature fluorinated agents.
    IP rated except for their adhesive, all seal out dust and stand up to some submersion.
