    Flexible Aramid Honeycomb Cores

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aramid. Flexible Aramid Honeycomb Cores.
    As a strong, lightweight, and buoyant alternative to solid panels, these aramid honeycomb cores are used to make interior wall panels and floor boards in marine, structural, and industrial applications. Compared to aluminum honeycomb cores, they're lightweight and more flexible, so you'll often find them lining boats and high-speed cars. However, they’re not as strong as aluminum cores. Aramid cores also resist flames, self-extinguish without melting or dripping, and are thermal and electrical insulators. Aramid is commonly known as Nomex.

    Vermiculite-Coated Fiberglass Roll

    Blankets that protect against sparks and welding spatter stand up better to regular use and larger welding jobs than leather and uncoated fiberglass blankets do. Sealed with a coating, they shed less than regular fiberglass blankets.

    Flame-Retardant Heavy Duty Heat-Shrink Wrap

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Heat-Shrink Wrap. Flame-Retardant Heavy Duty Heat-Shrink Wrap.
    Protect equipment exposed to flames and sparks. This wrap is often used on shipments staged in machine shops or construction sites where sparks may fly from welding and grinding. To meet NFPA 701 standards, this wrap self-extinguishes flames. It is also treated to prevent weakening and disintegrating from UV exposure, so your equipment will remain protected outdoors for up to a year. Shrink the wrap with a heat gun to create a formfitting barrier.
    Eight times thicker than standard heat-shrink wrap, you can drag and shrink this wrap over corners of equipment without it tearing. It's large enough to cover forklifts, industrial compressors, or even a boat, but it's easy enough to trim down using a utility knife. This wrap comes folded on a roll for efficient storage.
