It is one of the few materials, which will perform satisfactorily on a cost/effective basis for many packing applications.

    Recommended Uses

    Felt can be used for grease seals, dust shields, and gaskets on large doors and lids.

    Physical Properties

    Style 399 Meets the following:

    • SAE F-13ASTM: 9R4
    • Actual Wool Content (min.)
    • 75%Tensile Strength (min) 75%
