FILAMIC®
TUBES
- Data
Sheets
FILAMIC tubes are made with a similar
range of resins used to produce sheets so that the same wide operating
requirements are met. In addition, reinforcement, such as various types
of resin treated glass fabric, can be incorporated during manufacture.
For many years, micanite tubes (made form mica splittings) have been
used
for applications requiring high electric strength and good heat
resistance.
FILAMIC tubes have several advantages over micanite:
• A thinner wall thickness is allowable
- this means less weight and less space iss occupied.
• Closer dimensional tolerances.
• FILAMIC tubes can be machined.
• Much higher temperatures can
be achieved without clamping.
FILAMIC tubes are also frequently
suitable as alternatives to resin-bonded woven glass fabric, as they
are
characterized by:
• High electric strength.
• Good mechanical strength.
• High flexural modules.

VIEW DATA SHEET
FILAMIC tubes are wound from resin
impregnated FILAMIC foil and are made to customers' specified
dimensions.
It is normal to supply tubes cut to length and machined, as necessary,
complete to drawings. Attainable tolerances vary according to the wall
thickness and diameter required. FILAMIC tubes can be supplied in
lengths
up to 1270 mm depending on the diameter and resin. To meet specific
demand,
Langtec has developed the capability of producing large diameter, long
length FILAMIC mica paper tubes for furnace and other high temperature
applications. We would be happy to discuss specific requirements Also
when
required tubes 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
