Default Grundig TK24 mystery substance

Hi all, it's been a long time since I posted on the forum although I am an avid viewer. Anyway I have been given this tape recorder and am a bit worried about a small sheet of something which is clamped under three of the electrolytics, it reminds me of a piece of asbestos my Dad brought home from work for me to use with my chemistry set when I was about ten (mid 1970's). So before I plough ahead with the horrendous replacement of the Wima caps that it certainly needs I thought I'd ask if anyone knew what it was and if I should take precautions. I think I've attached a photo.
