Composite peelable shims are made of sheets glued together made of polyester (Mylar) or polyamide (Kapton). This very light material, with insulating properties, allows the sheets to peel off easily and adapts well to temperatures ranging from -70° to 150°.
Composites can be designed to provide high strength while being lightweight. This feature is especially useful in applications where weight reduction is crucial.
Composite materials offer a significant advantage over metals in corrosive environments due to their inherent corrosion resistance.
