As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Sanitizing Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sheet [X]
Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sneeze Guards and like products require special care while cleaning and disinfecting. To maintain the optical clarity of sneeze guards and other acrylic or polycarbonate items, use an acrylic or polycarbonate safe cleaner like Novus Plastic Polish #1, Brillianize Plastic Cleaner, or a mild soap solution.
Please reference the following compatible cleaners when DISINFECTING acrylic and polycarbonate items. The use of commonly available commercial alcohol or ammonia-based disinfectants may cause crazing and damage.
PTFE, also known under the brand name Teflon®1, is a soft fluoropolymer mechanical plastic with exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, corrosion and stress cracking.
PTFE features impressive heat, mechanical toughness, electrical and low friction properties, making it the material of choice for many high heat and low friction applications.
PTFE plastic is available in FDA approved, electrical, mechanical, glass-filled and bearing grades.
PTFE is soft and formable, often used for chemically resistant seals and gaskets. With strong electrical properties, PTFE is also used in many aerospace and computer applications. Glass-filled PTFE has enhanced strength and stiffness properties.

We found interstate plastics through Google and didn't realize just how helpful they were until they had put together quite a complex quote for us and helped find the right material. They were professional, kind, to the point and most importantly, they knew their stuff!

As far as low friction plastics go, this is a winner. Really great for high heat environments and slide rails within an oven. Great material, great service.

Pro: Solid build quality
Cons: Expensive

We use it not only for electrical insulators, but it also works well as a high heat barrier and the results are fabulous with a price that is great as well! We certainly recommend this product.

Same as Teflon at a way better price. EZ choice.

Thanks for your help and professionalism in getting us taken care of. We had contacted a previous PTFE Teflon supplier but could never get a quote with shipping charges to Hawaii, and government purchases are a bit more complicated with all numerical requirements. You were able to help us immediately, and we will certainly reach out to you for any future PTFE needs. Thanks again.

I bought a small sheet to use on my craft table on a recommendation to help the fabric slide easier, best extra money ever spent.
