Don't know what the actual material was, but it was impregnated with graphite. That's what I was told 20 years ago anyway. Bladwin used to pay techs for replacing it and the corfam. It lasted 10 years and then they would only send techs the parts for free. I got a real embarrassment with a customer a few years ago when I learned that Baldwin wouldn't pay me. Had to call the customer and they wouldn't pay me either. To my knowledge the job never got done. I did give the customer the pack I got from Baldwin. The customer thought I was trying to rob them because of my change of story. Oh well, that's life! Stuff happens, when you party naked!!
