Felt for Padding and Oil RetentionSAE F-7 Felt is a heavy-duty felt with 80% wool content. Due to its high density, F-7 is resilient enough to handle constant impact, pressure, and movement. This is why we recommend it for vibration mountings, grease retainer washers, wipers, and dust shields in automotive parts. This felt is also an ideal material for grease retainer washers and wicks, due to its excellent oil absorption and retention. These sample sizes allow you to select the right grade before buying a larger order, or add to your swatch library.*Please note: There may be a tolerance of up to +/- 1/4” from the stated size. **Slight color variation may occur.Are you an artist, designer or architect? If your project requires color consistency and a premium finish we recommend using our designer felts.Please note: Our industrial felts are made with wool that comes from free roaming sheep. Although felt is washed and carbonized there may be some vegetable matter and other debris lingering in the coat. Due to the natural origin of the material slight color variation will occur from lot to lot. Sheep hair comes in a variety of beige and gray tones, making it difficult to guarantee consistent color between rolls without dying the material.SpecsContent: Minimum 80% wool fiber.Color: Natural gray to brown.Quantity: 3 pieces.Dimensions: 3 x 3 inches (76.2 x 76.2mm).Thicknesses: 1/8 inch (3.2mm), 1/4 inch (6.35mm), and 1/2 inch (12.7mm).Density: Medium-High, 0.25-0.27 g/cm³ (421.4-455 lb/yd³).Features: Heavy-duty, firm and pliable.Advantages: High resilience, retains shape under constant vibration and impact, good grease and oil retention.Applications: Ankle holster backing, boat trailer, boot liners, cargo van protector, ceiling felt, electric keyboard felt, etching press, furniture backing, furniture protector pads (under 1,000 lbs), glass cutting table (if black), gun cleaning, log carrying bag, log home window felt, oiling machines in bowling alleys, pin board, potato washer equipment, rug, seat cushion, shelf lining, to seal drafts, shot peening machine, sound deadening, wicking and grease retention, and writing desks/mats.Industries served: Automotive, boating, construction, cottage, gun and firearm, interior design, machinery components, music, oil, printing, and sports.
