RS PRO Colour Coded Plastic Shim Kit of 8 Sheets
Adaptability to different environments makes Plastic Shim popular material used in engineering for shimming and insulation applications worldwide. No surprise as to why Shims are the first choice for a reliable and durable material, allowing you to control thickness spacing for your BIG and small project.
Today, we are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Colour Coded Plastic Shim Kit of 8 Sheets offering you different performance characteristics than metal, such as folding endurance, chemical resistance or tensile strength to break.
The Plastic Shim goes even beyond that, and thanks to the straightforward concept that different thickness indicates the other colour, you can eliminate the need to use a micrometre.
