Types of Vulcanex Vulcanized Fibre

Vulcanex Vulcanized Fibre is made as thin as .005″ and as thick as 1″ and thicker. It is made in several colors, and several grades. We also have several specialized grades, available only through us. Standard Grades are:

  • Commercial Grade. The most common type, this grade combines good physical properties with good electrical properties.
  • Electrical Grade. Electrical grade is made only in thinner gauges, typically from .005″ to .062″ thick. It has very good electrical insulating properties, and is more flexible with good forming capabilities for applications such as slot wedge insulation.

Electrical Vulcanized Fibre is sometimes referred to as “Fish Paper” (or “Fishpaper”), even though there’s nothing fishy about it.
