Shim-tape

Stainless steel shim tape

Shimtape is a comprehensive range of hardened stainless steel, self adhesive shim tapes, available in a precise range of sizes that allows the user to select and increment the thickness of the shims by 0.01 mm. at a time, from a minimum thickness of 0.03 mm.

Shimtape is available in three sizes:

Shimtape 03 0.03 mm (0.001″)
Shimtape 05 0.05 mm (0.002″)
Shimtape 10 0.10 mm (0.004″)

Shim is 8.0 mm. wide and, for maximum ease of use, it has a 12 mm.finger-lift backing on the adhesive film. The transfer adhesive system is specially formulated allowing for both short and long term bonding, yet can be easily removed or replaced, should the need arise. Because Shim is made from 40 Rockwell hardened stainless steel, its resistance to crushing or deformation is very high plus it is very stable as it is non-oxidising, meaning that it is suitable for formes that are being used from long term storage.

Shimtape is supplied in 10 meter rolls.
