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

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.

Laminating Pouches

Slide a sign into these laminating pouches to protect both sides. Remove the backing on the adhesive inner lining and seal. They are thicker than sheets and rolls for added durability.

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.

Rough Texture—The rough texture masks scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints.

Carbon Fiber Sheets


Plain Weave	Twill Weave

Use these resin-free carbon fiber sheets to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering carbon fiber sheets 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.

Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer.

Plain Weave—Sheets with a plain weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than carbon fiber sheets with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Plain-weave sheets are more rigid and maintain their shape better than twill-weave sheets. However, they are not as strong and easy to manipulate as twill- and triaxial-weave sheets.

Twill Weave—Sheets with a twill weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than carbon fiber sheets with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Twill-weave sheets are stronger than plain-weave sheets. 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 sheets.
