Scratch-Resistant Easy-to-Form PETG

Color: White
Clarity: Semi Clear
Temperature Range: -4° to 140° F
Tensile Strength: 7,700 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 1.2 ft-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell R115 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: No
Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1315, NSF/ANSI 51, UL 94 HB

A satin texture on one side of these PETG sheets makes them semiclear. The satin side is more resistant to scratching and glare than standard PETG. The other side is smooth. You can see light from the other side, but not detailed shapes. They’re often formed into complex shapes such as displays, signs, and trays, and are easy to cut with sheet metal shears. These sheets have better impact strength than Plexiglas® Acrylic and can be used in similar applications.

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.

Film with a smooth texture is skived, so the edges may curl.

Impact-Resistant Ultra-Strength Carbon Fiber Sheets with Kevlar Core

Color: Black
Temperature Range: -100° to 190° F
Tensile Strength: 177,000 psi (Excellent)
Impact Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Not Rated
For Use Outdoors: No

Often used to build frames and structures, these lightweight sheets combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fiber with the impact resistance of Kevlar. With carbon fiber on the outer layers, these sheets are extremely difficult to bend—they’re nearly as stiff as pure carbon fiber. The carbon fiber layers also provide good strength under tension, comparable to 6061 aluminum. Sandwiched between the carbon fiber layers of these sheets is a Kevlar core. Known for its toughness, the Kevlar core helps prevent sheets from failing under a variety of stresses, such as punctures, cuts, impact, and wear. The Kevlar core also has a lower density than carbon fiber, making these sheets even lighter than sheets made from carbon fiber alone.

Shim Stock

Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Sheets come flat packed.

For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.

PTFE plastic shim stock is slippery, so it can be used to reduce friction between parts. It also has excellent chemical resistance.

Flame- and Heat-Resistant Blankets

Fiberglass

Blankets are for intermittent contact with flames and hot surfaces.

Fiberglass blankets are best for stress relief applications. Wrap them around a hot metal part to insulate it and slowly cool it to avoid stress cracks and fractures. They can also be used in medium-duty welding applications, since they will protect against sparks and spatter.
