Custom Fish Paper Gaskets and gasketing material are created from the electrical grade of Vulcanized Fiber. Fish Paper has several unique gasket-making qualities such as light weight, ease of formation and hole punching and temperature resistance.
Typical Fish Paper applications include washers, insulating plates, arc barriers, switch & appliance insulation, terminal block covers, coil spool heads and formed parts. Usually, Fish Paper is used in electric enclosures and other electrical applications. Fish Paper is commonly die cut and machined.
Fish Paper is extremely durable and is available n a variety of sheet stock and custom parts.
Fish Paper can be die cut, formed, kiss cut, folded or creased. It is also available in an adhesive-backed version. We provide only the highest quality fish paper parts, custom designed to your specifications. We have low tooling charges and low minimums. Please send us any drawings or specifications for a quote.
