How Can Mica Tubes Help With Electrical Insulation - Axim Mica


Mica has the potential to be used in a wide range of products and solutions because of its versatility. It can be molded and processed into a variety of forms and sizes for various uses in large-scale furnaces, consumer goods, and other industries. One of the most popular mica products that are widely used in industries is mica tube. These are made of muscovite grade & phlogopite mica and ensure outstanding electric insulation and high heat resistance properties. In this blog post, we’ll learn more about mica tubes and understand their importance –

Understanding Mica Tubes 

Mica tubes are lightweight, durable, and combine electrical and mechanical strength. They are rigid but adaptable and available in a range of lengths, diameters, and thicknesses. As a result, it is easy and beneficial to use them for various industrial applications. Here we are sharing more about the three uses of mica tubes for electrical insulation. 

 ·         Electric Arc Furnaces

 Mica tubes help maintains a safe temperature in the electric arc furnaces to make the melting operation smooth. Mica tubes are exceptional at both thermal and electrical resistance, which makes them perfect for different insulating components exposed to extreme temperatures. It is also used for insulating the mast arms, electrode arms, and more. 

 

  • Electric Components 

High-quality insulation is important to improve the durability and efficiency of electric components. The exceptional mica properties like high dielectric strength make mica suitable for electric components like capacitors, resistors, and more. 

 

  • Tooling Equipment 

Tooling equipment is important for the daily operations of various industries. Mica help insulates heating elements which makes it ideal for using in these tools. Such as - heat guns can reach temperatures up to 648°C, so mica is used in them to provide a uniform heat distribution and improve performance.

How is Mica Used for Electric Vehicle Battery Insulation?

Image
Electric vehicles are the future. The ban on petrol and diesel vehicles is going to roll out by 2030. Thus, the transition to electric vehicles is inevitable. Electric vehicle technology is still in the early stages and thus expensive.  Apart from making efficient battery systems, manufacturers need to ensure that electric vehicle battery systems are safe. The electric vehicle battery pack needs to be insulated thermally and electrically to ensure safety. In this post, we will look at how mica material is used for electric vehicle battery insulation.   Mica Battery Pack Insulation  Mica battery pack insulation is used as a high-temperature incombustible barrier around battery packs and to electrically insulate the battery pack from other critical components of an electric vehicle. Axim Mica mica car battery pack insulation comes with the UL-94 rating and CE and ROHS certifications. You can partner with Axim Mica to design a customized battery pack insulation. Axim h...

A Short Guide on Two Popular Types of Mica Sheets!

Image
Mica is a naturally occurring material that comes in 37 different varieties.  However, only two forms of mica—phlogopite and muscovite—out of the 37 variants are utilized for industrial insulating purposes. Although they come in sheet form, they must first be transformed into powder before being used to create a variety of mica industrial insulation products. Each of these two forms of mica has characteristics that make them suited for a variety of uses in numerous sectors. Read out the below blog to learn about two popular types of micasheets . Types of Mica sheets   Phlogopite Mica Sheets:   The mica sheets that remain stable up to 900°C are known as phlogopite mica sheets. They come in both flexible and rigid forms. The thermal insulation properties of phlogopite mica sheets are different from muscovite mica sheets. Phlogopite mica, out of all the different types of mica, offers the best thermal insulating properties. There are a variety of colors, i...

What is the role of safety certifications of mica sheets in the industry?

Image
Mica sheets are used in various industries for thermal and electrical insulation applications. They are used at high operating temperatures up to 1600 degree cel sius and in high voltage environments. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that mica sheets are safe for use. That’s where the role of  mica sheets  comes into play. The certifications are gained by rigorously testing the product under controlled conditions. Regarding mica sheets, the UL rating is the global industrial safety standard.  Other region-specific fire resistance classifications, such as BS 479 (class 1) and NBN 21-203 (A1), are also used to approve thermal and electrical insulation products. In this post, we will focus on the UL-rating of mica sheets. What are UL standards for safety? UL is a global safety certification company that certifies a wide range of products used in both industrial and commercial applications. If a product is listed or UL certified, the product is globally accepte...
