    Plastic Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Washers. Plastic Washers.
    All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
    Extreme-Temperature Polyimide—Our most temperature-resilient plastic washers. These won't deform or lose strength at temperatures as low as -450° F and as high as 750° F to handle everything from liquid nitrogen to heating elements. They are also good electrical insulators.

    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, 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.
    Color-Coded Plastic—These shims are color coded by thickness to quickly spot and grab the right size every time. Softer than metal, they won't mar delicate surfaces and they will never rust.
