Micarta Insulation
Micarta is a high-performance composite material renowned for its excellent thermal insulation properties. Composed of layers of fabric—such as linen, canvas, or paper—impregnated with phenolic resins, Micarta is cured under heat and pressure to form a dense, durable laminate. This structure provides superior heat resistance, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable thermal insulation.
Micarta Sheets
Micarta sheets are available in various grades and thicknesses to meet diverse industrial needs. Common grades include:
- Canvas Micarta (Grade C or CE): Offers good mechanical strength and is suitable for mechanical applications such as gears and pulleys.
- Linen Micarta (Grade L or LE): Provides excellent electrical properties and is ideal for intricate machined parts and electrical components.
- Paper Micarta (Grade X or XX): Features high dielectric strength, making it suitable for electrical insulation applications.
Micarta Material
The unique composition of Micarta—fabric layers bonded with thermosetting resins—results in a material that is:
- Heat Resistant: Maintains structural integrity under high temperatures.
- Mechanically Strong: Offers high tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths.
- Electrical Insulator: Exhibits excellent dielectric properties, making it suitable for electrical applications.
These characteristics make Micarta a preferred choice in industries such as aerospace, electrical manufacturing, and heavy equipment, where reliable thermal and electrical insulation is crucial.
