FIBREFLEX "FIBRE-KORK"@
A.SCOPE: FIBRE-KORK is a composition cork and fibre glue-glycerineimpregnant gasket material manufactured and
tested to the below-listed specifications. FIBRE-KORK consists of a special base fibre containing 40%granulated cork
particles by volume. FIBRE-KORK is saturated with a glue-glycerine-formaldehydeimpregnant which makes the sheet
impervious to oil, water and gasoline. The incorporation of the cork with the fibre makes FIBRE-KORK a soft compressible material adaptable for gasket application with low internal pressures.
B. CERTIFICATION: FIBRE-KORK is certified to meet the following specifications.
