ALKOMPOSIT LAMINATED PEELABLE SHIMS Alkomposit laminated peelable shims are shims for adjustment made from a composite material. They consist of a stack of basic polyester (Mylar) leaves, joined together by gluing over the whole surface, thereby forming a laminated set of compact appearance. Each basic leaf constituting the stack can be peeled off extremely easily, in complete safety and by hand, until the exact thickness desired is obtained. The shim is therefore perfectly and easily adjusted to compensate accurately for the play in a mechanical They can satisfy all types of new applications where it is important to introduce concepts of insulation and lightness over a wide range of temperatures (see properties overleaf). Alkomposit shims can be used advantageously to replace machined or ground solid metal Alkomposit Viewtek laminated peelable shims are dual composition adjustment shims (that is, consisting of basic leaves of a different thickness on each side) using an exclu- sive, original and patented marking process. They therefore offer a convenience in use that is unequalled to this day. Owing to the marking written in full over the whole surface, you can see immediately, and with no risk of error, the thickness of the basic leaves you are removing to obtain the desired final dimension. These are the first shims that can r be peeled off with the fingers and by eye. - Low density (50% of that of aluminium) - Fineness of basic thickness: from 0.025 to 0.1mm - Cleaving without tools, by hand - Safety in use (almost zero risk of - Excellent resistance to chemical - Immediate identification of basic thickness by the exclusive, patented Viewtek process (marking + colour code: 0.025mm, 0.05mm and 0.10mm) - Can be used for damping or as an anti-vibration filter - Resistance to a wide range of temperatures: from - 70°C - Avoids problems of contact corrosion - Facilitates bending and adaptation to curved surfaces - Peeled leaves can be reused - Dual functionality (shimming + sealing) under certain

SHAPES AVAILABLE Alkomposit peelable shims can be produced in any geometrical shape, by cutting out or machining, to your dimensions and specifications. If the dimensions are large, it is possible to produce shims in several parts, mechanically connected or otherwise. Peelable U shims are also available in standard dimensions. THICKNESS COMPOSITION Alkomposit peelable shims may consist solely of basic leaves of the same thickness (single composition) or of leaves of different thickness on each side (dual composition).
