Vulcanized Fibre is made from a number
of plies of paper, depending on the thickness required. The plies
are passed through a bath of Zinc Chloride, an acid. The Zinc Chloride
bath makes the surfaces of the individual fibers, which make up
the paper, gummy and sticky. These gummy plies of paper are then
pressed together.

vulcanized fibre The gelatinous fibers create both a stronger bond
within each ply of paper and a stronger bond between the plies of
paper. They bind together to form Vulcanized Fibre, a chemically pure
product of unmatched physical and electrical properties, and unique
bond strength.

vulcanized fibre Once the fibre plies are bonded together, the Zinc
Chloride is gradually leached out of the fibre in a series of water
baths. The fibre is then dried and cut into its final form: sheets,
rolls, coils or strips. Rods and Tubes are made on a different machine,
but the concepts are the same.
The resulting fibre is almost completely pure cellulose, free from
any artificial glues, resins or binders. Other than trace elements,
it contains entirely natural components.vulcanized
