MATERIALS

 

 

Vegetable and Plant Fibre

   
  GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
FIBREFLEX "DETROITER" PLANT FIBRE
   
 

A. Scope: Fibreflex “Detroiter” is an excellent grade of vegetable fibre sheet packing, efficiently saturated with a glue-glycerine impregnant rendered insoluble by means of a tanning agent (formaldehyde) to give a strong, flexible, all-proof packing with properties retained during proper storage and in use.

   
 

B.Certification: Fibreflex “Detroiter” is certified to meet the below listed specifications.

 
HH-P-96G, Type 1 only (Federal Specification)  
MIL-G-12803A Ident. No. P3313B
MIL-G-12803B & MIL-G-12803C Ident. No. F326128M6
ASTM D 1170 and SAE J90 Ident. No. P3313B
ASTM F 104 and SAE J90 Ident No. F326128-E21-M6
Underwriters' Laboratory Listing No. MH 4649 (763N)
   

 

 

 

 

C. Physical Characteristics:

 
Fibre 45% to 55%
Moisture 6% to 10%
Chemical Solids 35% to 45%
   


 

D. Conditioning: All samples conditioned prior to testing as specified by applicable application – usually 50% RH – 70 to 85oF for a period of 22 or 24 hours.

   
 

E. Standards: (Using American Society of Testing Materials Specification ASTM F 104 prepared jointly with the Society of Automotive Engineers and similar in requirements to MIL-G-12803C.
