Top Industries that Use Mica Insulation Sheets

Image
Mica sheets are one of the widespread mica-based insulation solutions for various industrial Mica Insulation applications. Mica is used as an insulator in a variety of home appliances, including microwaves, ovens, space heaters, capacitors, and more. Mica is the top choice for consumer appliance insulation because of its superior dielectric and thermal insulating qualities that can withstand the demands of high-temperature applications. In addition, mica is available in rigid or flexible sheets in various sizes. Mica has great physical and chemical properties that include: ·     Outstanding thermal resistance (stable up to 1000 °C) ·     Superior dielectric strength (up to 2000 v/mm) ·     Lightweight ·     Chemically inert ·     Water-resistant ·     Cleavable ·     Reflective ·     Refractive ·     Excellent mechanical qualities ...

Which Mica Properties Make it So Ideal for Industrial Insulation?

Image
  Mica is the preferred choice of material for industrial thermal and electrical insulation. All thanks to the amazing physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of mica. If you have not used mica insulation before, you might be wondering which mica properties make it so ideal for industrial insulation. In this post, you will learn about the properties of mica. Properties of mica        Thermal stability at high temperature   Mica is stable in a high-temperature environment. Natural mica sheets are stable up to the temperature of 1000 °C, whereas built-up mica sheets are stable up to the high-temperature environment of 1600 °C. There are two types of mica sheets used for industrial insulation: muscovite mica sheets and phlogopite mica sheets. Phlogopite mica sheets have better thermal insulation capabilities than muscovite mica sheets. High dielectric strength   Mica sheets have a dielectric strength of 20000 v/mm. Thus, mica sheets can ...

A Few Things You Should Know About Mica Tape

Image
Mica cable tape is used as the industrial thermal and electrical insulation in various industries such as hospitals, oil rigs, shopping centers, railway tunnels, and industrial & military installations. It is standard for the fireproofing and electrical insulation of high voltage wires. Mica cable tape is an ideal solution for insulation due to the following key characteristics: chemical inertness, thermal stability at high temperatures, dielectric strength, mechanical properties, and lightweight.   Properties of Mica Tape   Chemically inert   Mica cable tape is halogen-free, asbestos-free, and chemically inert. It does not produce toxic gases and fumes during a fire. It does not propagate flames during the fire due to its non-combustion nature.     Mechanical properties   Mica cable tape is made of mica paper which has exceptional mechanical properties. Its high tensile strength allows it to convert into thin mica cable tape witho...
