Because things change quickly in science and R&D, some of the materials we've purchased for experiments are no longer useful to us. We've listed them below just in case they might be helpful for someone else. Check back often to find interesting and discounted supplies!

Industrial tape heads are used to automatically dispense a roll of tape onto a surface (usually a shipping box). Each tape head can be adjusted to a left-hand or right-hand configuration. We bought four of them for a manufacturing machine design that later became obsolete. The tape heads are in excellent condition.

Low-Emissivity Paint

Quantity in stock: 1

Condition: Nearly full

Price per unit: FREE + shipping

Low-emissivity paint can be applied to a rooftop to reflect heat away from a building. We used a small amount of this paint for thermal experiments, but the buckets are still mostly full. Fair warning: The alumina in the paint acts like glitter, and it can get everywhere if you aren't careful.

Thermo-Pan is essentially aluminized cardboard. Its intended use-case is in creating air ducts between joists. The Owlfly team was using Thermo-Pan as the primary structure of our YellowJacket prototypes up until mid-2024, but it ultimately did not meet our stringent requirements for non-combustible materials.
