Plastic Shims and Gaskets
PSG Group International pioneered the development of colour-coded polymer Shimstock under the trusted Polymex® brand, recognised worldwide for its fast, accurate thickness identification and exceptional performance in even the most demanding environments.
Our Shimstock is manufactured from two premium materials
Polymex® A (Polyester):
Exceptional strength and dimensional stability with outstanding moisture resistance, ideal for precision engineering and high-performance applications.
Polymex® B (Polypropylene):
Lightweight, resilient and highly resistant to chemicals, offering excellent versatility across a wide range of industries.
Why Choose Polymex® Shimstock?
Instant identification:
Colour-coded thicknesses from 12µ to 3000µ, eliminating the need for a micrometre and reducing assembly errors.
Reliable performance:
Non-hygroscopic, oil-resistant, corrosion-resistant and non-conductive
Flexible supply:
Colour-coded thicknesses from 12µ to 3000µ, eliminating the need for a micrometre and reducing assembly errors.
Engineered to last:
Maintains form under pressure, with excellent insulation properties, low
friction and high compressive strength.
Common Questions
How do I know which material is the best for my application?
With the vast range of available materials, selecting the best one is challenging. However, our technical team have decades of technological know-how and will work closely with you to advise on the most appropriate material for your application.
What are the typical lead times?
As all our customers’ requirements are unique, we always make-to-order. However, provided we have stock available, we can usually work to short lead times, often delivering orders within days.
What are the advantages of using Polymex® polymers?
Unique colour-coding of the material provides instant thickness identification. Polymex® products are not susceptible to moisture, so they will not swell or degrade. It’s easily configurable with excellent insulation properties and high compressive strength.
