The cotton rag sheet produced for conversion to vulcanized fibre is made like a sheet suitable for saturating.
The zinc chloride used in making vulcanized fibre swelled and gelatinized the cellulose.
Once the bonding was established, the process of leaching out the zinc chloride from the vulcanized fibre could begin.
One application for vulcanized fibre that attests to its physical strength is that it is the preferred material for heavy sanding discs.
These tanks were flexible containers, made of a laminated self-sealing material like vulcanized rubber and with as few seams as possible to minimize leak paths.
Examples of thermosets include epoxies, silicone, vulcanized rubber, polyester, and polyurethane.
Their thick vulcanized rubber collar is clamped to the corselet making the joint waterproof.
Air bladder construction varies from a simple polyethylene bag to internally baffled, multiple chambers of latex (vulcanized rubber) or vinyl with bonded cotton exteriors.
