Micanite
Heat Resisting Micanite
Heat Resisting Micanite is made from high quality Mica Splittings with the Shellac bond being kept low. The material is made available from both Muscovite and Phlogopite Mica where the maximum working temperature are approximately 600° C and 900° C respectively. Heating Resisting Micanite is used in the manufacture of a wide variety of both domestic and industrial heating applications such as electric iron elements, wound heater elements, cylindrical resistance heaterse etc.
Flexible Micanite
Flexible Micanite is made from clear Mica Splittings bonded together with special flexible bonds which permit forming down to small radii while cold. A variety of bonds is available depending on the temperature characteristics required. These sheets may or may not contain re-enforcing materials such as paper, glass cloth, polyester, etc. These materials are quite flexible and can be cut to desired sizes to permit winding or wrapping into place without heating. This material is used for a wide variety of slot insulations and field coils and generally where cold wrapping of insulation is required. Also used in various electrical appliances such as Generator, Electric Furnace, Magnetic Coil, Coil Insulation, etc.
Washers
Washers made from our own Heat Resisting and Moulding Micanites are used in electro-magnets, micro-sensitive control gear and for many other purposes. They are either cut or die stamped from the sheet material according to the customers’ drawings.
Commutator Vee Rings
Vee Rings are made from the high quality Moulding Micanite which is made at our works. The hand moulded process gives excellent results but is a very labour intensive and slow method of production. It therefore tends to be used mostly for very large rings where quantities are relatively small.
