100-year Old Paper for Wrapping Fish Stops Electricity
Fish paper, with origins dating back to the 1800's is used by organizations such as NASA for its electrical insulation properties.
CHAMBERSBURG, PA (PRWEB) May 21, 2004 --- Fish paper, rumored to be used for wrapping fish and lining tables during the 1800s is now used by such technological giants as NASA for stopping the flow of electricity. As an electrical insulator, fish paper (vulcanized fiber) is used in thousands of electrical devices found in most buildings and homes.
With origins dating back to Great Britain in 1859, and a U.S. patent awarded to Thomas Taylor in 1872 titled 'Improvements in the treatment of paper and paper pulp," fish paper is respected by industry for both its flexibility and durability. For specific applications, fish paper is easily cut, die stamped or formed to meet any custom requirement.
Although it may be nothing more than urban legend that fish paper was originally used in fish markets and restaurants because of its ability to resist fish oils, it is a theory that is widely believed," said Jesse Barron, marketing analyst at American Micro Industries. In researching fish paper, what I found amazing is that a 100-year old paper is used in many of todays technological marvels, including space flight," he added.
American Micro Industries stocks fish paper in 24"x36" sheets in thicknesses varying 0.005" to 0.062". An economical alternative to Mylar®, Teflon®, Mica and G10, it is chemically pure (environmentally friendly) and contains no resins or bonding agents. In addition to stocking fish paper, American Micro Industries also provides custom die cutting, bending and scoring, as well as varnishing for antifungal specifications.
