ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Moulding Micanite sheets are made using carefully selected mica flakes without any extra reinforcing materials. By hand these mica flakes are laid in layers bonded with shellac or epoxy and cured to a B stage. The semi cured resins within allow these sheets to be flexile for easy cutting, bending and thermoforming into custom dyes.

Application

Moulding micanite sheets used with several steps of precise craftsmanship contribute to create intricately shaped components with exceptional electrical insulating properties.

The selected micanite sheets are cut into the desired shapes and dimensions using specialized cutting tools or dies.

The cut micanite pieces are carefully arranged and placed into moulds or dies designed to shape them into the required components.

Heat and pressure are applied during the curing process to bond the micanite sheets together permanently. This creates a single, solid, and highly insulating component.

They soften on application of heat and the pliable stack of sheets can be then formed on moulds under heat and pressure to make intricate shapes such as V cones, shells, end bell insulation, core insulation, tubes and washers.

On cooling the formed and pressed component hardens thus retaining the shape of mould.
