Fishpaper
Fishpaper is best known for it's strength, form and ease of use when stamping or punching. It performs exceptionally well in extreme temperatures, and is perfect for electrical insulation. Fishpaper swells slightly when exposed to water which makes it an excellent plumbing seal. Other uses include sealing, heat insulation, or mechanical spacer.
