Fine-tune thickness without worrying about stacking multiple shims. Cut the shim stock into custom shapes that suit your needs. It's made of layers of material bonded with adhesive—peel off the layers with a utility knife until you reach your desired thickness. To make peeling easier, warm the created shims to soften the adhesive. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.

Made of aluminosilicate that’s been chemically strengthened, this glass handles more wear and tear than other glass before scratching, cracking, or chipping. It’s often seen on mobile devices and enclosure display windows. This glass withstands drops without shattering from as high as two meters—twice that of standard aluminosilicate, often found as thermometer tubes. It’s also at least three times more resistant to scratching than standard aluminosilicate glass and significantly more so than most common glass. Compared to borosilicate and quartz, it’s harder and stiffer. It’s also more chemical resistant than borosilicate.

Because of how this glass is strengthened, it cannot be cut or trimmed without cracking or shattering. But, unlike glass that is strengthened through coatings, this glass remains optically clear and won’t distort objects. It also reduces glare.
