Fibre washer material

[LWC82PE]

Does anyone know what the proper name for the material used that those red/brown fiber washers are made from? I want some of the same material but in sheet form around 1-2mm thick. i know its available but im not sure what exactly to look/ask for.

  "Sealrite"      comes to mind.

So its called Vulcanized Fibre? It seems to be what im after so i might give them a try but it would be good to get it locally. Thanks

I have a feeling that electrical wholesalers may sell Vulcanised fibre sheet for insulation.
Or maybe this company have thicker sheet than this thats listed on their website.
It might be a start anyhow.

Super Cheap and Repco sell little packets of assorted washers in that brown stuff.

Im NOT after washers though. I want the same material but in a sheet form, electrical grade i think is what i need?. A piece something like 300x 300 would be plenty. I did ring a plumbing shop but they were absolutly useless and did not have a clue and said its not the sort of thing they have. That probably rules that out.
