Tab Shims at IGS IndustriesOur alignment tab shims, or PRE-CUTS, are ideal for clients who need alignment shims with budget constrictions. And not only are our shim kits pre-cut to produce a product that is several times more affordable than hand-cut shims, but our durable corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel tab shims are reusable, too. Additionally, you can increase your available warehouse space by not needing to carry a large foil stock. Each shim is marked with its size, too, so theres no guessing required on your end. Finally, the nature of our PRE-CUTS eliminates burrs, snip cuts, and square edgesmeaning that our shims better fit your projects and are safer to handle, too.Why IGS PRE-CUTS?When your project requires reusable stainless steel shims on a smaller budget, alignment tab shims are perfect for the job. Tab shims are typically used in shaft alignment of rotating equipment in many applications and industries: steel mills, paper mills, chemical plants, refineries, power plants, turbines, fans, pumps, blowers, gear boxes, and much more. Special thicknesses of shims can be replaced if you use more of one thickness than others. This eliminates waste of unused shims as compared to buying a whole kit just for a few shims.Why IGS Industries?Our pre-cut alignment tab shims are a perfect example of our desire to provide you with great results that solve your workplace challenges. In addition to the many advantages (reusable, pre-cut, multiple sizes, stock-space saving, money saving), we go further in allowing you to customize your tab shim kit to specifically fit your needs. We offer both regular and oversized shim kits, and we allow you to create a combination of both. Come talk with us about how we can provide you a tab shim solution for your business.

We offer in-house laminating of materials and we can coat gasket materials with special application coatings (such as dryback adhesives, tacky adhesives w release paper, varnishes, edge-bonding, glyptol, and more).Why Gaskets?Simply put, gaskets create a tight seal between two parts. This seal prevents leakage of liquids or gas. Application of gaskets can get more complicated, which is where IGS Industries experience strongly comes into play. Gaskets need to match both of the parts to which it provides a seal, not just in shape and size, but in chemical properties, resistances, and pressures, too. Gaskets can be made from a wide-selection of materials.Custom Gaskets at IGS IndustriesCustom gaskets are one of our most popular services here at IGS industries.

Depending on temperature, pressure, chemical, and other environmental factors, O-rings can be crafted from a variety of materials. Materials such as EPDM, Nitrile, Buna-N, Silicone, Viton, and Fluoraz are just a few of the materials that we supply to meet the demands of the application. Additionally, O-rings can be supplied with an X cross section, better known as a quad ring.Quad rings have twice the sealing surface as a standard O-ring, and also requires less compression to maintain an effective seal. This reduced compression results in longer seal life and lower risk of twisting. Quad rings also have an advantage over standard O-rings in the fact that the parting line is between the lobes of the quad ring and provides for a better, more uniform seal.Why IGS IndustriesISG Industries has been supplying O-ring seals for customers for nearly 50 years. Our experience in custom-designed O-ring seals allows us to add our expertise to your project requirements. We also offer custom packaging and private labeling.

Duct-Tite at IGS IndustriesDuct-Tite is a fibrous paste sealant used for sealing industrial ducting where high temperature and pressure resistance is needed. Applications include paint ovens, drying and curing ovens, flue stacks, heat exchangers, or any other high temperature ducting which may or may not see pressure.During joint assembly, sealant will flow into rough or irregular surfaces to provide a durable seal. Duct-Tite expands under heat and cures to a leathery like consistency, and will not crack due to thermal cycling or vibration. Sealant will outlast silicone above 500F and is inert to most industrial chemicals. Joint disassembly is easy as the sealant does not excessively harden which allows for quick separation. Duct-Tite is not classified as a hazardous material and is able to be shipped by any means worldwide.Typical Applications:Paint, drying, and curing ovens.Flue stacks.Heat exchangers.Other high-temperature ducting (both pressure and non-pressure applications).Advantages:Non-shrinking and non-crackingRemains pliable to withstand thermal cyclingOutlasts silicones above 500FNot affected by most industrial chemicalsDuct-Tite is not classified as a hazardous material and is able to be shipped worldwide by any means.Duct-Tite is available through our Just-In-Time shipping program.Downloads:Duct-Tite TDSApplication Instruction SheetDuct-Tite MSDS Sheet

KelSeal at IGS IndustriesKelSeal is an alumina-carbon, resin-bonded, joint sealant used between slide gate plates, nozzles, and SENs around the ladle and tundish areas. It has excellent resistance to erosion by molten steel and very low permeability at steel making temperatures to prevent steel leakage and air aspiration through refractory joints. KelSeal is the original formulation for longer service time around the tundish area while KelSeal XG is formulated for shorter runs on ladles and ease of separationclean up.Typical Applications:Steelmaking IndustriesAdvantages:KelSeal contains graphite, which allows easy separation of refractory jointsKelSeal resists air aspiration and steel penetration within the joint being sealedWill flow to rough or irregular voids within the refractory to provide a good sealDoes not shrink or crack under heat loadKelSeal is not classified as a hazardous material and is able to be shipped worldwide by any meansKelSeal is available through our Just-In-Time shipping program.Downloads:KelSeal TDS Instruction SheetKelSeal MSDS SheetKelSeal Caulking Grade MSDS SheetKelSeal XG MSDS Sheet

Setting Blocks at IGS Industries IGS Industries provides high-quality setting blocks for the window and glass industries. We construct our setting blocks from high-quality vinyl or neoprene to work under a temperature range of -30oF to 220oF. We offer setting blocks in all types and sizes for various situations like heavy-dutyindustrial, commercial, and residential glass panes and insulating glass planes. Why Setting Blocks? Setting blocks hold insulating glass in a window pane to protect the glass from the impact of opening and closing, and from the impact of various temperatures upon the window that can cause expansion and contraction. The setting blocks prevent the glass from breaking while maintaining the integrity of the glazing bead. Why IGS Industries? We offer both standard and custom-made setting blocks, cut from the highest quality material available. Our setting blocks are designed to work in demanding situations (whether that is a complex application or extreme temperatures), and they will not react to sealants and adhesives. We also provide adhesive backing to our setting blocks to provide a one-stop solution for our customers.
