PRIMARY MARKET: Automotive sector.

• Carburetor.
• Fuel pump.
• Oil pump.
• Oil filter.
• Thermostat.
• Water pump.

They come in two materials:

1. CELLULOSE BASED

Vegetable Fiber paper is a cellulose based soft gasketing material used for sealing against water, oil, fuel and etc.

Features:

• Good resistance to contact with oils and fuels.
• Resistance to high temperature work.
• Gives good strength and durability.
• Good flexibility and elasticity.
• Recommended working temperature of 120º C.

2. CORK

It's made from cork with rubber inserts. It is an excellent material for gaskets and other industrial applications.

Features:

• High compressibility and flexibility.
• Wide range of fluid compatibility.
• Moderately resistant to fungus, acid, and weather conditions.
• Resistant to fluid penetration.
• Reduces transmitted vibration levels, sound insulation.
• Good for low bolt load applications.
• Non-slip and impact resistant, shock absorbing.
