A.  SCOPE:  FIBREFLEX GRADE "A" is a premium grade of vegetable fibre sheet packing,efficiently saturated with a glue-
glycerine impregnant rendered insoluble by means of a tanning agent (formaldehyde) to give a strong, flexible, all-proof 
packing with properties retained during proper storage and in use.

B.  CERTIFICATION:  FIBREFLEX GRADE "A" is certified to meet the below listed specifications:
HH-P-96G, Type 1 only (Federal Specification)
