Vegetable and Plant Fibre

At Atlantic Gasket Corporation, we manufacture a variety of die cut parts and gaskets from vegetable (also known as plant) fibre. For industrial, chemical, petroleum, petrochemical, and automotive industries, this natural fibre is the material of choice in a wide range of sealing applications. Our relationship with Fibreflex Packing & Mfg. Co., a leading material manufacturer, allows us to supply our customers with an excellent high-grade vetgetable/plant fibre sheet packing referred to as Detroiter, which is efficiently saturated with a glue-glycerine impregnant and is rendered insoluable by means of a tanning agent (formaldehyde) to create a strong, flexible packing with properties that are retained during proper storage and in use. From engineering, design and tooling, to die-cutting, waterjet cutting, fabrication, laminating, and slitting, we have the in-house capabilities to meet the tightest tolerances and the highest quality standards, regardless of end product or application.

Vegetable/Plant Fibre Material Properties Applications
Detroiter Insoluable, impregnated, strong and flexible. Resistant to coal tar, oils, water, alcohol, grease, air, gas, gasoline and solvents of all kinds. For a complete listing of the many fluids and gases that can be sealed using our vegetable/plant fibre gasket material, click here. This vegetable/plant fibre material works well in applications where temperatures can reach 250˚F and it is an excellent choice for all oil, grease, water and gasoline flange connections on trucks, tractors, automobiles, recreational vehicles, and industrial motors, as well as for general oil applications, alcohol distilleries, shipyards, equipment manufactures, and industrial plants for pump, tank, gear, and flange joints.

  • Does your end product require specific thickness? At Atlantic Gasket, our Vegetable/Plant Fibre material is available in a variety of thicknesses, including .006", .010", .015", .021", .031", .046", .062", .094", .125", .187", and .250". This material can be supplied in rolls 36" and 40" wide or we would be glad to die cut, waterjet cut, or slit to your exact requirements. If needed, we can supply this material with an adhesive backing.
