    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Film.
    PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. It resists most solvents and stands up to extreme temperatures. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator.
    Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.
    Rough Texture—The rough texture masks scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints.
    FDA Standard—For adhesive-back film that is FDA compliant, the film meets the standard, but the adhesive does not.

    Fiberglass Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Fiberglass. Fiberglass Sheets.
    Use these fiberglass sheets to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering fiberglass fabric with an epoxy. The epoxy (sold separately) is a two-part resin that begins to harden in 15 hours and reaches full strength in 4 days. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.
    These fiberglass sheets have a twill weave with fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than fabrics with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Twill-weave sheets are stronger than plain-weave fabrics. They’re also more flexible, making them easier to manipulate into complex shapes. They will not, however, retain their shape as well as plain-weave fabrics.

    Adhesive-Back Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Adhesive-Back Shim Stock.
    Stick with confidence—a durable adhesive keeps this shim stock from sliding out of place. Cut the shim stock 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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor areas because it resists rust. However, it will corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, it won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Temper Rating—Choose half hard to create shims that you’ll need to bend or shape. Opt for full hard to make stronger shims that will maintain their shape under loads.
