White Polyester Plastic Shim, 457mm x 305mm x 0.25mm

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 White Plastic Shim 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.

Plastic Shim is a common material used in:

• Engineering for shimming and insulation applications


• Construction to secure bolts and nuts or to act as spacers to secure fasteners


• Compressor - protecting washers from rust and corrosion

RS PRO is our own-brand range of great-value products. Each part of every RS PRO product is stringently tested against demanding industry standards. We give it our seal of approval only when we’re confident of exceptional quality. That’s why RS PRO is trusted by engineers worldwide.
