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.

Clear Chemical-Resistant PVC Film
- Color: See table
- Temperature Range: 15° to 140° F
- Tensile Strength: 2,680-3,400 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell R57 (Medium)
- For Use Outdoors: No
Use this PVC film to line tanks and in chemical-processing applications where visibility is essential. PVC resists acids and alkalies.
High-Temperature FRP Fiberglass

Color-Coded Shim Stock
This shim stock is color-coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Shim stock is corrosion resistant. Sheets come flat packed.
Plastic shim stock works well in light duty applications. It's easier to cut than aluminum stock.

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
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.
For made-to-order blankets, minimum size is 22 sq. ft.
