Mica electrical insulation
Possessing the same versatile qualities as mica sheets, Elmelin’s rigid Elmtube mica tubes are manufactured from muscovite or phlogopite mica grades.
Employing mica’s exceptionally high heat resistance, rigid mica tubes also provide excellent electrical insulation properties.
Multi-functional mica tubes come in various diameters and thicknesses, and their mechanical and electrical strength make them the preferred choice for insulating a broad range of electrical appliances, as well as for use in electrical motors and smelting furnaces.
Elmtube comes in two grades of either muscovite or phlogopite mica:
- MPSB-M – muscovite mica; and
- MPSB-P – phlogopite mica.
Mica tubes are available in inner diameters ranging from 5 mm to 260 mm, and lengths of either 1000 mm or 1200 mm.
Versatile applications
You’ll find mica tubes in numerous household and industrial devices such as hairdryers, air blowers, heat guns, electrical motors and smelting furnaces. Acting as a durable mica sleeve, the tube safeguards core heating elements against excessive temperatures and electrical leakage, ensuring long-lasting equipment performance.
Lightweight yet strong, our electrical insulation tubes are easy to install and fit seamlessly into appliances and systems of varying dimensions. In addition, Elmelin’s advanced manufacturing process ensures that our mica tubes are fully waterproof, enhancing both their mechanical strength and longevity.
Not just round
While typically cylindrical, we can also produce square mica tubes on request. These are commonly used in electric arc furnaces and other specialist equipment, where precision-shaped mica tube insulation is critical to performance and safety.
Every tube is crafted to meet exact customer requirements, ensuring the best possible results even in challenging environments.
Meeting your product requirements
Mica tubes are essential problem-solving product components. Maintaining their superior insulation qualities across a wide range of dimensions, they are a supremely adaptable insulation solution.
