NOMEX Paper – Transformer & Motor Windings Materials

As an insulating material, Nomex is widely used in various electrical equipment and electronic fields that meet UL, IEC and various national and regional standards.

Nomex paper 410 was the first Nomex paper developed and one of the higher volume grades made, mostly for electrical insulation purposes.

Application
Honeycomb structures: uses in electrical laminates, like transformer cores, aircraft construction, circuit boards, Firefighting, military aviation, and vehicle racing industries.
By using Nomex paper as electrical insulation, manufacturers of everything from transformers and generators to wind turbine systems and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) have been able to help improve the integrity and performance of their own products.

Nomex has been the material of choice for electrical insulation, helping to extend the life of electrical equipment and prevent premature failures. There’s a high-quality material to address virtually any electrical insulation requirement.

Nomex® 410: is the original form and it is made up of a calendered paper available in different thicknesses.
Nomex® 411: is an uncalendered paper, so with lower electrical and machanical proper­ties when compared to 410, but with a slight permeability to resins and varnishes.
Nomex® 414: is similar to 410, but is calendered under different conditions which pro­duce a strong, more flexible and conformable sheet.
Nomex® 818: also called Nomex Mica is produced by adding 50% mica platelets to the floc and fibrids. 818 is a calendered product with high inherent dielectric strength and can also be impregnated with varnishes if required.
Nomex® 992: is a low-density pressboard produced in 2 thicknesses (1.6 and 3.2 mm ).
Nomex® 993: is a medium-density pressboard produced in 6 thicknesses (1.0 to 4.0 mm).
Nomex® 994: is a high density pressboard available in 12 thicknesses (1.0 to 9.6 mm).
Nomex® 356: is a low-density type available in thicknesses from 0.13 to 0.51 mm.
