Marine-Grade Moisture-Resistant Polyethylene (HDPE) Sheets and Bars

Color: See Table
Maximum Temperature: 180° F
Tensile Strength: 4,100 psi (Poor)
Impact Strength: 1.1 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Durometer 68D (Medium)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: ASTM D4976, UL 94 HB

Also known as starboard, these sheets and bars won’t degrade when exposed to salt water, humidity, and UV light. They’re more rigid than standard HDPE sheets and bars, and have a coarse texture that masks scuffs and scratches.

Arc-Resistant GPO3 Fiberglass Sheets and Strips

Color: Red
Max. Temperature: 265° F
Tensile Strength: 10,000-15,000 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 8.2-12 ft.-lbs./in. (Excellent)
Hardness: Barcol 50 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: No
Specifications Met:
Sheets and Strips 1/16" and thicker meet UL 94 V-0

Often used for electrical applications in humid environments, these GPO3 fiberglass sheets and strips are arc and track resistant. They offer better electrical insulation properties than FRP fiberglass. Made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester, they're also called polyester-grade industrial laminate.

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.

Slip-Resistant Shim Plates

The textured surface of these thick shims keeps them from sliding apart when stacked. Use them to align cabinets, doors, and windows, or for other rough leveling. They're color-coded by thickness for easy identification. Unlike wood shims, these plastic shims resist moisture and won’t rot.

Tool-Organizing Foam

Know at a glance when a tool is missing from a toolbox with this dual-color foam. Using your tools as a template, cut shapes out of the adhesive-backed piece of foam with a utility knife, then adhere it to the uncut piece. When someone removes a tool, the uncut sheet becomes visible to indicate the open space. Foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.

Flame- and Heat-Resistant Blankets

Silicone-Coated 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. Silicone-coated fiberglass blankets have added wear and oil resistance.

Oil- and Heat-Resistant Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Fabric

In addition to being oil resistant, this fabric protects against molten metal spatter when used vertically. Use as a heat shield or a welding curtain.

Solderless Ready-to-Use Circuit Boards

Also known as solderless breadboards. A contact point inside each hole creates a connection without soldering. Use the terminal strips to connect your electronic components.

Boards with 170 contact points are often used for prototyping applications since they’re smaller. They’re available in a variety of colors to keep multiple prototyping projects organized.
