    Steel-Backed PTFE Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Steel-Backed PTFE Sheets.
    A layer of tin-plated steel adds structural support and makes this PTFE easy to form. Bend it to fit inside V-blocks and other channels, or cut it to form wear strips and thrust bearings. PTFE is naturally slippery, so it works well in parts that slide and roll.

    Copper Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Copper. Copper Wire.
    Highly conductive and soft enough to form, copper wire is the go-to for electrical jobs. It's often used to power motors, create grounding, and wire control panels, lights, and transformers.
    Tin-Coated 110 Copper—More corrosion resistant and easier to solder than uncoated 110 copper wire.
