Why specify Vegetable Fiber for gaskets?

Vegetable fiber (also called fibre or oil paper) is an economical cellulose-based gasket material impregnated with oil or glycerin. It is widely specified for low-pressure cover gaskets, fuel pump joints, and economical industrial sealing where pressures and temperatures are modest.

Properties of Vegetable Fiber gaskets

Cannon Gasket cuts Vegetable Fiber gaskets to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of 0.010" to 0.125" thickness. Good resistance to oils, fuels, and mechanical stress. Moderate performance with water; not recommended for high temperatures or aggressive chemicals.

Vegetable Fiber tolerances and customization

Standard dimensional tolerances on Vegetable Fiber gasketsland around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades. Cannon Gasket cuts Vegetable Fiber to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.

How Vegetable Fiber Performs

- Resistance to fuel, oil, and water at low pressure. - Conforms well to imperfect cover flanges. - Economical for high-volume aftermarket and OEM cover gaskets.

Where Vegetable Fiber Gaskets Are Specified

Fuel pump covers, oil pan covers, carburetor gaskets, valve cover gaskets in some applications, and a wide range of light-duty industrial and automotive aftermarket sealing.

When to Choose Another Material

For high-pressure or high-temperature service, specify compressed fiber, graphite, or solid rubber. Vegetable fiber is a low-pressure specification.
