Wollastic^TM - It's Fantastic!

Developed in 1937, Wollastic^TM Rubberized Bound Fibre originally consisted of a rubberized and bound animal hair. Its unique buffering properties made it the choice for important cushioning applications. Over the years, the uses for Wollastic^TM continued to expand into other areas, such as padding for furniture and absorption material in military applications. Today, Wollastic^TM is made from environmentally friendly vegetable fibres and continues to grow into new markets, such as filtration and erosion control products.

Advantages of Wollastic^TM Rubberized Bound Fibre

• Wollastic^TM Fibre has the unique ability to compress when dropped, absorbing the vibration and shock.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre will recover under multiple impacts.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre is especially suited to provide for packaging items where G Factor is 25G's or less.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre can be manufactured to cushion and protect in temperatures ranging from -65^oF to +150^oF upon request.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre is nonconductive and static-free.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre is pliable and will conform to any surface. The fibre can be molded to encapsulate a product to protect it from damage in any direction.
• The open weave design allows water to pass through the material. Once wet, the material will retain its integrity.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre can be made fire-retardant.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre can be die-cut to almost any shape to provide specialized packaging for almost any item.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre is environmentally safe:
• The core fibre is a natural plant fibre.
• The bonding agent is latex.
• The fibre is reusable.
• For disposal purposes, the fibre will biodegrade.
• When forced-air incinerated, the material will burn to a clean ash.
• Wollastic^TM Fibre is cost-effective.                                     back to top of page

Filter Media Applications of Wollastic^TM Rubberized Bound Fibre

F. P. Woll's "Natural Fibre Filter" is available in all types and sizes including pads, rolls & special die cuts. This unique filter medium is made from organic fibers curled and laid onto scrim backing, coated with special resin then heat treated for final adhesion creating a semi-rigid self supporting filter.

This filter medium is ideal for many air filtration applications such as:

• Air Conditioning Units
• Heating
• Air Handlers
• Coolers
• Paint Spray Booths.

These filters also act as a prefilter for some requirements. High humidity environments are well suited for this medium where its rugged and durable construction outlast many other filters. Natural fibre medium is versatile enough to withstand many cleanings by vacuuming or rinsing in tap water.

• ASHRAE tested
• Special sizes
• Fast Delivery
• Competitive prices.

Environmental Applications of Wollastic^TM Rubberized Bound Fibre

Scrubbing Pads - Natural fibre Wollastic^TM scrubbing pads are effective in removing dirt and grime build-up from buildings while reducing fibre counts on job sites. The pads are also marked for heavy duty scrubbing applications such as tubs, tile and boat bottoms.

Erosion Control Blankets - Wollastic^TM Fibre blankets effectively control erosion problems. The Fibre Blankets minimize the effects of high velocity water runoff from stream banks, ponds, steep slopes, and rain. This helps keep topsoil from washing away. The open weave design allows water to pass through without damaging vegetation root systems. The root systems are then allowed to naturally stabilize an area. The Wollastic Fibre eventually then biodegrades into an organic mulch.

Wetlands Reconstruction - Eroding wetlands have damaged our fragile ecosystem. Wollastic^TM mats provide protection of various shoreline plants from moderate to high wave energies. And at the same time, trap sediment which leads to stabilization of the shoreline.

Aquaculture - An increasing demand for fish coupled by increasing amounts of pollution in lakes and rivers has led to the advent of a new and profitable industry: aquafarming. Wollastic^TM Fibre sheets are laid in man-made ponds and fisheries to collect fish eggs as they are laid. The eggs are then transferred to a new fish free pool where they will be allowed to develop, or, to be used as food for other fish.

Oil Spill Cleanup - One of the most striking and detrimental things that can happen to the environment are oil spills. Wollastic^TM Fibre has proven effective as an absorbent of crude oil. Absorbency rates are as high as 95%. Wollastic^TM Fibre mats are placed along spill areas and allowed to soak up the spillage. Material can be wrapped around sorbent boom or staked along beaches and marshlands to prevent contamination. When saturated, the material will burn down to a clean ash when incinerated.
