Ok, and so, what materials can the covering of my Rooy be made of ? Other than open cell foam...
THANKS

It is possible that the coating is flock paint, sprayed on to look like a flocked surface.  But definitely not containing asbestos

Hello
Here are close-up photos of the covering of the Rooy Portable, just to know what materials it could be :

Hi Olivier

That looks like felt to me, either natural wool, manmade fiber or a combination. All the best,

We humans go through many computers in our lives, but in their lives, typewriters go through many of us.
In that way, they’re like violins, like ancestral swords. So I use mine with honor and treat them with respect.
I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.

And can these materials be finely flocked ?
