    Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Low-Friction UHMW Polyethylene Film.
    Widely used as a protective barrier against abrasion and wear, this UHMW film has a slippery surface that prevents sticking.
    Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.
    FDA Standard—For adhesive-back film that is FDA compliant, the film meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.

    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.
    Ultra-Chemical-Resistant PTFE—The most chemical-resistant shim stock we offer, it stands up to the widest range of harsh acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners, even at temperatures up to 500° F. It also won't mar delicate surfaces.

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. PTFE Adhesive-Back Sintered Filter Discs.
    Stick these discs onto breather and other circular vents to guard against water and dirt without obstructing flow. Often used in the electronic and automotive industries, they have very small holes so air, gas, and vapor can still pass through. These discs are made of PTFE to wick water away. They also won’t break down from most chemicals, except alkali metal and high-temperature fluorinated agents.
    IP rated except for their adhesive, all seal out dust and stand up to some submersion.

    PTFE Sintered Filter Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sintered Filters. PTFE Sintered Filter Film .
    Shield vents on electronic and automotive equipment, such as cell phone microphones, from water, dirt, and debris without blocking them entirely. This film has tiny holes to let air, gas, and vapors pass through. Because it’s made of PTFE, it wicks away water. It also won’t react with most chemicals, though it can break down from alkali metal and high-temperature fluorinated agents. IP rated, this film stands up to dust, weather, washdowns, and even brief submersion.
