Stability and reliability
Our high-temperature insulation solutions ensure that you can provide necessary protection and safety measures without compromising on key design features and performance. Mica’s unique mineral structure means that in incredible thin, light layers it maintains high levels of mechanical stability and high-temperature insulation properties, making it easy to cut and shape to your requirements. We design, develop and produce extremely bespoke solutions alongside aerospace engineers to suit extremely specialist needs.
Increase safety and useful life
Mica can withstand electrical stresses of up to 1000V/mm before breakdown, making it highly effective for high voltage insulation in power electronics. This level of protection enhances operator safety while safeguarding circuits and equipment from electrical failure. By reducing exposure to distorted voltages and excessive heat, mica insulation for power electronics also slows component ageing, extending service life and maintaining peak system efficiency.
