Laminated mica or mica products are employed in electrical engineering already since the turn of the century. Micanite is the name given to sheet material which is made up of fine mica lamellae, called "Splittings", bonded together by a variety of bonding agents such as Shellac, epoxy, or silicone, in order to obtain particular characteristics for specific uses. Variations can be made in the method of manufacture, the types of Mica, and the type of quantity of bonding material used to form thick or thin, stiff or flexible products in the form of sheets. |
| Heat Resisting Micanite |
 |
| Heat Resisting Micanite is made from high quality Mica Splitting with the Shellac bond being kept low. The material is made available from both Muscovite and Phlogophite Mica where the maximum working temperature is approximately 500° C and 800° C respectively. Heat 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 heaters etc. |
| Flexible Micanite |
| Flexible Micanite is made from clear Mica Splitting 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. |
| Commutator / Punched Segment Mica |
 |
| This product is prepared by pasting Muscovite splittings with an alkyd varnish as a binder in a little amount and processing at a very high temperature and high pressure and then grinded . |
| 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 buyer’s specification. |
