It is compressible, non-linting, lightweight, and can be easily die-cut. A polyolefin scrim on one side protects the fibers. It also has been surface treated on both sides to provide better attachment of the scrim and better abrasion resistance of the fiber. Thomco can help with converted die-cut Thinsulate™ parts that include adhesive.
