    Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Sold Individually.
    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.

    Wear-Resistant PTFE Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Wear-Resistant PTFE Sheets.
    These sheets are manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that’s been modified with a filler material. In addition to having the superior chemical and temperature resistance of PTFE, they have excellent impact resistance and a super-slippery surface that resists wear. These easy-to-machine sheets are nonabsorbent, so they won’t swell when exposed to water. They’re also good electrical insulators.
    Rulon J—Grade J is the most slippery of the Rulon materials and is often used to make gaskets and wear strips.

    Crack-Resistant Rigid Polyimide Insulation Sheets

    Even when subjected to heavy compression, these rigid polyimide sheets won't crack. To use outdoors, add metal jacketing.
    12 lb/ft³ Density
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Insulation Sheets. Crack-Resistant Rigid Polyimide Insulation Sheets.
    Sheets with a density of 12 lb/ft3 are easier to cut than denser polyimide insulation sheets, which makes them good for die-punching applications. They are not, however, good for machining.
