FILAMIC® SHEETS
- Data
Sheets
Natural mica is still one of the
best electrical insulations known but it has severe limitations, mainly
the small size of available sheets. It has been found possible to make
a paperlike material consisting of 100% pure mica in continuous rolls
without
destroying its properties. By impregnating this paper with selected
resins
and laminating under heat and pressure, FILAMIC sheets and tubes are
produced.
Depending on the resin used, they are suitable for a wide variety of
operating
conditions, especially high temperature, high voltage and even high
frequency.
FILAMIC is made from either muscovite or phlogopite mica according to
the
application. Muscovite is the most widely used and is ideally suited
for
supporting wound heating elements. Phlogopite produces a slightly
softer
sheet but can withstand marginally higher working temperatures and has
certain advantages for commutator intersegment work. Applications for
FILAMIC
are legion, varying from small domestic appliances to power
transformers
and aerospace industries. Our technical staff will be pleased to advise
correct grades for any particular application. FILAMIC can be supplied
in sheet form or punched or machined in our works or, uniquely, can be
moulded Ð a process developed at the request of a particular
customer
for a specific use, but with a variety of applications. Also when
required
components can be tested in our materials laboratory to ensure their
conformity
to national, international, or customer specifications and certificates
of conformity supplied. LANGTEC holds ISO 9002 approval and will comply
fully with all quality control requirements.
