Axim Mica

Mica is preferred over other insulation materials for high voltage insulation in a diverse range of industries for its exceptional physical capabilities. The key properties that make it ideal to use as high voltage insulation are exceptional thermal stability and high dielectric strength. It can withstand up to 2000 kilovolts per mm before breaking down, and pure mica is stable up to the temperature of 900 degrees C, whereas when combined with other materials, it can withstand the temperature up to 1600 C. High thermal stability is essential because high voltage can break the insulation material putting the safety of others at risk. Here are the three most common uses of mica in high voltage insulation applications:     Electric vehicles The electric vehicle manufacturing industry uses mica-based insulation products for the insulation of the high voltage electric batteries and other electrical components to ensure the safety of users against the electric circuits. Mica i...

Industrial insulation materials play a key role in the safe operation of various products and industrial equipment. An end-user might not be aware of how things are done, but industry experts have a good idea of what it takes to make a product safer for use. For instance, a simple product such as a hairdryer or an electric room heater needs reliable thermal insulation of the heating element to make it safe for use. Similarly, almost every industry uses various industrial materials like mica material , fiberglass, CMS wool, and Nomex for the thermal insulation of various products. If you are also looking for ideal industrial insulation material for your products, here are the things you need to consider: Maximum temperature range The first thing to consider is the maximum temperature range, which in turn depends on your product’s safety requirements. For example, mica sheets are stable up to high temperatures in the range of 1200-1600 °C, while fiberglass provides thermal insulation...

The most common form of mica used in industries is mica sheets. This is because of the arrangement of its atoms in hexagonal shape in its natural form, which makes it easy for mica crystals to break along smooth planes. Mica sheets are primarily divided into two types: flexible mica sheets and rigid mica sheets. Flexible Mica Sheets     These mica sheets are flexible in form with thickness ranging from 0.10 and 2mm. They are available in different sizes and can be cut into custom shapes depending on the application.   Common uses of flexible mica sheets include: ●         Protective sheathing, covering, winding, or wrapping; due to its flexibility and lightweight nature, the aerospace industry uses mica laminates for insulation of the aircraft body. ●         Many electrical components such as capacitors, circuit breakers, transformers, and high voltage wires ●    ...
