    Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Film.
    Widely used as a protective barrier against abrasion and wear, this UHMW film has a slippery surface that prevents sticking.
    Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.
    FDA Standard—For adhesive-back film that is FDA compliant, the film meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.

    Adhesive-Back Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Adhesive-Back Shim Stock.
    Stick with confidence—a durable adhesive keeps this shim stock from sliding out of place. Cut the shim stock 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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor areas because it resists rust. However, it will corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, it won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Aluminum—An alternative to stainless steel for rust resistance but less hard so it may not retain its shape. One-third the weight of steel, it's often used in robotics and automation.
    Brass—Picked for its warm, polished look. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, it resists rusting in wet and outdoor areas.
    Copper—A good conductor of heat, it’s often used to install heat sinks. As our softest metal, it prevents component damage but may not retain its shape as well as other metals.
    Temper Rating—Choose half hard to create shims that you’ll need to bend or shape. Opt for full hard to make stronger shims that will maintain their shape under loads.
