Frequently Asked Questions
What thicknesses are available?
Our leather sheets come in standard thicknesses from 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) to 1/4 inch (6.4 mm). Custom thicknesses can be produced upon request to meet specific gasket or packing requirements.
Can the leather sheets be cut to custom shapes?
Yes, ship chandlers and workshops can easily cut, punch, or die-stamp these leather sheets into custom gaskets, washers, and seals. The material is homogeneous and cuts cleanly without fraying.
Are these leather sheets suitable for oil or fuel applications?
Yes, the chrome tanning process provides good resistance to oil, grease, and many petroleum-based fluids, making them suitable for marine machinery and engine room applications.
How should the leather sheets be stored?
Store flat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Proper storage extends the material's flexibility and prevents hardening.
