REMARKS: TFE impregnant acts as: (1) a surface leveler filling any surface voids (2) a saturant to prevent wicking (3) a lubricant to prevent friction and heat (4) a protective shield around the flax fibers, preventing fluid penetration and fiber break down. An excellent paper stock packing. Use whenever product discoloration must be prevented, such as in the food and bleached paper industries.
