Hi, 

These are a spun fiber-glass donut wrapped in aluminum 
tape. I am currently using an 8" X 30" one on my 10 kVA 
piggie driven coil and it works quite well. It's smooth enough 
that I need to add a breakout point to get well controlled 
and directed streamers. Not quite as nice as a true spun 
aluminum ( Landgren's ) toroid, but considerably better than 
dryer duct.
