The company NVF manufacture Vulcanized Fibre under the trade name Forbon and is used commercially not only for building pickup coil forms but also for making Fuse Panels, Fuse tubes, Diode packaging, Golf Club head inserts, Electrical Insulation’s and Shields and can be corrugated and formed into many shapes.

Vulcanized Fibre is made into sheet stock, rods, tubes, rolls, coils and fabricated parts can be made wet or dry when forming, scoring and deep drawing. Standard sheet sizes are approximately 48″ X 80″ and range in thickness from .004″ through 1″.

Vulcanized Fibre is a chemically pure, cellulose material that contains no resins or bonding agents. It has extremely high internal bond strength and even though it is pure cellulose (an inert carbohydrate-the chief constituent of the cell walls of plants) it will not delaminate or separate, even in water.

Forbon is made from high purity cellulose papers specially formulated to produce the desired end-use properties in various grades and colors. Some of the colors are Gray, White, Black, Red, Olive and Chocolate. The layers of paper are passed through a gelantizing bath and are chemically laminated into a homogeneous (having a common property throughout) material of the desired thickness. The gelatizing agent is then removed, resulting in a chemically pure product. Forbon has an insulating class of 115°C.
