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.

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

Oil- and Heat-Resistant Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Fabric
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.
