Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Strips

In addition to having a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough, impact- and wear-resistant material handles the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastic can’t. These strips are often used to make machine guards and chute liners. They are all FDA compliant for direct food contact.

Ultra-Machinable Delrin® Acetal Sheets

These sheets 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

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.

Plastic—Softer than metal, it won't mar delicate surfaces and it will never rust.

Highly Moisture-Resistant HDPE Strips

Practically nonabsorbent, these strips won't swell when exposed to water. They’re harder and denser than LDPE, plus they’re more chemical resistant. They are often machined into plugs, seals, and containers.

Ultra-Low-Friction Nylon Strips

These wear-resistant nylon 6/6 strips are modified with MDS for a self-lubricating surface that’s more slippery than standard nylon. Use them to machine high-friction parts, such as gears, wear strips, and bearings.
