Micanite
Micanite is a material derived from flakes of mica bonded with an organic binder. Mica have good resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. Mica combines low thermal conductivity with high dielectric strength and good resistance to high voltages.
- Rigit micanite plate is an electrical insulating material made from phlogopite plates impregnated with silicone resin. Rigid mica sheets are an ideal alternative to asbestos plates from the past. Micanite has good resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, low thermal conductivity, high dielectric strength, good resistance to high voltages.
- Flexible mica sheet is an electrical insulating material made of mica paper impregnated with a silicone bonding compound. Micanite plates are characterised by exceptional heat resistance and remain flexible even at high temperature. Improved flexibility can be obtained by heating the flexible mica sheets up for 1 minute at 150 °C. As a result, the improved flexibility produces optimum deformability.
- Combi mica paper is a material consisting of 2 layers – mica foil and ceramic paper. The micanite (muscovite) paper has glass reinforcement, giving it greater tensile strength during operation and installation. Mica foil has excellent electrical insulating qualities, while ceramic paper contributes with very low thermal conductivity. The softness of combi-mica ensures easier installation of the material, compared to other alternatives.
Micanite
Micanite is a high-quality electrical insulation material composed of natural mica layers bonded with special resins and pressed under high temperature and pressure. This unique structure provides exceptional heat resistance, high mechanical strength, and excellent electrical insulation properties, making it a preferred choice for numerous industrial applications.
What is micanite and what is it used for? Micanite is primarily used for insulation in electrical equipment operating at high temperatures. Due to its ability to maintain insulating properties at temperatures up to 1000°C, micanite is particularly suitable for heating elements, electric motors, transformers, and other electrical components exposed to significant thermal stress.
Types of micanite and their applications:
- Heating micanite: Used in the production of heating elements and heating devices that must withstand high temperatures and provide reliable thermal insulation.
- Micanite with ceramic: The combination of mica and ceramic offers exceptional thermal resistance and strength. This type of micanite is suitable for electrical devices and systems that operate in extreme conditions.
- Flexible micanite: Designed for complex shapes and applications requiring adaptability during installation. Flexible micanite provides excellent insulation and is easy to handle.
- Micanite sheets: Widely used for manufacturing insulation panels and components that can be easily cut and tailored to specific projects.
Key features and advantages of micanite:
- Heat resistance: Maintains stable insulating properties even at extremely high temperatures.
- Electrical insulation: Micanite is a reliable insulator that prevents electrical leakage and enhances the safety of electrical equipment.
- Chemical and moisture resistance: The material retains its properties in aggressive environments where other insulation materials might degrade.
- Durability: Micanite offers a long service life, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term projects.
Price: One of the advantages of micanite is its affordable price, making it an efficient solution for a variety of industrial needs without compromising quality and performance.
Why choose micanite? Micanite combines the unique properties of natural mica with modern bonding technologies. This makes it ideal for industrial applications that require high-temperature resistance and excellent electrical insulation. Whether for manufacturing heating elements, motor parts, or transformer insulation, micanite provides reliability and safety.
