Shim stock is available in a variety of colours and thicknesses to satisfy customer needs. Shim stock is known for its controlled thickness spacing, electrical insulation and sealing abilities. It is often used where corrosion is a problem.

Mylar is a plastic sheet product made from the resin of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is a polyester film used for its high tensile strength and chemical stability. Mylar gaskets act as a barrier to aromas and gases as well as make use of its excellent dielectric properties in the form of insulation.

Features Include:

• flexible
• durable and strong
• good aging properties
• excellent resistance to moisture and certain chemicals
• good dielectric properties

Urethane sheets are considered durable material able to resist extreme environment conditions and abrasions. It has several advantages over conventional plastics and elastomers, such as increased strength, toughness and versatility.

SGI custom manufactures plastic gaskets depending on the customer's needs. Plastic gaskets can be used in a broad range of applications since they have a wide range of temperature tolerances. Generally plastics are durable materials, and many are resistant to corrosive materials such as fuel and oil. Plastics are a cost-effective and versatile material for gaskets. Temperature will vary depending on the plastic used to make the gasket.
