Mica tapes
Mica tapes
Mica tapes and mica-based laminates are high-performance insulating materials known for their exceptional thermal resistance, flame retardancy, and dielectric strength. Made from natural (Phlogopite, Muscovite) or synthetic mica, these tapes are often combined with backing films like PET or PI (polyimide) and, in some cases, adhesives to enhance mechanical handling and application versatility.
Typical Application Areas
-
Cable Industry: Mica tapes are widely used in fire-resistant and high-voltage cables to provide outstanding flame protection (withstand temperatures above 1000 °C) and insulation stability during fire exposure. These tapes are essential in safety-critical environments such as power plants, tunnels, airports, and industrial facilities.
-
Electrical Insulation: Laminates such as Mica/PET, Mica/PI, or PI/Mica/PI are employed in motors, generators, and transformers, offering superior dielectric insulation and thermal endurance for long-term and high-demand operations.
-
High-Voltage and Power Electronics: In advanced electrical systems, mica laminates are used for insulation in coils, windings, and structural components exposed to high electrical and thermal stresses, ensuring safe and efficient energy transmission.
