Deep-drawn parts made of vulcanized fiber: technology meets sustainability
What is vulcanized fiber? Vulcanized fiber is a cellulose-based, horn-like plastic that has been in use since the 19th century. Its production is environmentally friendly, usually using sulfuric acid as a parchmenting agent, without additional binding agents—and thus without chemical residues in the final product.
