The origins of flax filasse
Linen filasse is a natural material obtained from the fibers of flax, a plant appreciated for its resistance and flexibility. It has long stood out for its ability to provide reliable sealing in a variety of applications, including plumbing. The LINEN YARN C-FIL model that we offer offers a long length of fiber, designed to facilitate wrapping around the nets and optimize the seal. By choosing this yarn, you are betting on a traditional product whose effectiveness has been recognized for generations.
Composition and characteristics
The particularity of flax filasse lies in its fibrous structure which easily adapts to different nets, whether they are fine or more robust. Each strand presses firmly against the surface, forming a barrier against leaks. The packaging of this 250 gram doll (maxi size) lends itself to repeated use or work requiring a larger quantity of material. In addition, the packaging for shelf shelves with pins makes it easy to store the yarn while avoiding any risk of tangling.

Possible uses
The main use of flax filasse is for waterproofing in plumbing work. Combined with a specific paste, it effectively seals threaded connections and limits the risk of infiltration. Its application is not only reserved for professionals: experienced DIYers find it an ally for multiple domestic interventions. Indeed, whether it is to repair a leaking faucet or to install a new piping system, the filasse provides better protection against moisture and wear.
Advantages of flax filasse
Unlike other sealing methods, the filasse has the advantage of swelling slightly on contact with water, thus strengthening its sealing power. In addition, it is heat-resistant, making it convenient for various types of installations. Its 250 gram format allows you to carry out several interventions without the need to restock immediately.
Swelling of the fibers in contact with water
Good behaviour in the heat
Suitable for most commercial sealants
Easy handling, even for non-professionals
Packaging and storage
Thanks to its packaging for shelf lines with pins, this C-FIL filasse can be stored in a professional workshop as well as in a private garage. Its spit presentation preserves the quality of the fibres by protecting them from ambient humidity and dirt. This suspension system also allows you to keep your workspace tidy. This prevents knots and tangled fibers, which can waste time during repair or installation tasks.
Additional Usage Tips
To get the most out of the thread, wrap it tightly around the thread, being careful not to put too thick a layer of it. Once the sealant has been applied, screw the fitting in carefully and check for leaks before restarting the water system. This precaution ensures optimal waterproofing and extends the life of your installation.
