Vulcanized fiber is a hard, durable, chemically pure cellulose product that contains no resin or bonding agents. It offers flexibility, impact resistance, high tear strength and a smooth, abrasion-resistant surface. It can be machined, punched, slit, threaded, formed, molded and wound into tubes for literally countless applications.
Vulcanized fiber can be used for washers, insulating plates, switch and appliance insulation, electric motor insulation, gaskets, automobile parts, luggage, patterns, and many other applications.
Vulcanized fiber materials meet various specifications, such as ASTM-D710, MIL-F-1148, MIL-F-13526, and others.
Benefits of Vulcanized Fiber (Commercial Grade)
Vulcanized fiber benefits from these characteristics:
- High Mechanical Strength
- Excellent Resistance to Heat and Cold, superior to most plastics
- Light Weight, Half the weight of Aluminum
- Excellent Electrical Properties
- Good Arc Resistance
- Excellent Tear Resistance
- Can be Machined with Standard Tools
Vulcanized fiber has high dielectric and mechanical strength. It also possesses great shock absorption and wear resistance qualities.
