Felt for High Resilience Applications
SAE F-3 Felt is one of the most durable industrial felts with an 85% wool content. F-3 serves the same general purposes as F-1 but is slightly less dense. Its advantages include excellent vibration absorption, resistance to abrasion and wear, and applications that require a coarse wool. F-3 felts is suitable for precision applications such as vibration mounts, precision lubrication wicking, oil seals, bumpers, gaskets, automobile, aircraft and machinery components.
*Please note: There may be a tolerance of up to /- 1/4” from the stated size.
**Slight color variation may occur.
***Available in thicknesses of 1/8” (3.2mm) to 1” (25.4mm).
*Since our material comes from free roaming sheep, slight color variation of the fiber may occur due to vegetable matter and other debris found in the coat. Although felt is washed and carbonized, this slight color variation is normal and a sign of the 100% natural origin of the material.
