Aramid Paper

Filmcutter has been carrying out an important partnership with X-Fiper for years, a company specialized in the development of innovative materials, with the aim of perfecting a product based on aramid paper that is a valid technical and commercial alternative to products already on the market.
The product offered by Filmcutter can reach Thermal Class H, thus allowing the insulation of copper or aluminum conductors up to 180°C.

In its version designed for lamination, the X-316 version is the fundamental ingredient for the creation of laminated products suitable for the electrical and thermal insulation of motors and transformers. In particular, Filmcutter produces FILMTERM NM5 (Class F 155°C), FILMTERM NMN5 (Class F 155°C), FILMTERM NMN8 (Class H 180°C) and FILMTERM NMN PREPREG (Class H 180°C) which can be applied as slot bottom and slot closure in electric motors or inside resin transformers.

In the X-630 version, aramid paper boasts superior electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics that make it suitable for use in taping flat wires or copper or aluminum conductors, and in all electrical equipment that requires insulation in Class H (180°C).

Product Features

Aramid paper represents an advanced and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial and technical applications. Obtained through an extrusion and pressing process of aramid fibers, this paper offers a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for various needs. Among its main features are mechanical strength, dimensional stability, thermal resistance and chemical resistance.

Mechanical strength makes it particularly suitable for applications where high robustness and break resistance are required. This material is able to withstand intense mechanical stresses without suffering significant damage, ensuring the durability and reliability of the components in which it is used. Dimensional stability is another key feature that makes it valuable for many applications. This material maintains its original dimensions and shapes even in extreme environmental conditions, ensuring the precision and reliability of the components in which it is used. This stability is especially crucial in sectors such as electronics and electrotechnics, where dimensional precision is essential for the proper functioning of devices.

Thermal resistance makes it suitable for uses where protection against high temperatures is required. This material can withstand temperatures up to several hundred degrees Celsius without undergoing significant deformations or deteriorations of its physical and mechanical properties. This thermal resistance makes it an excellent choice for thermal insulation, gaskets, and other applications in high-temperature environments.

Chemical resistance is another feature that sets it apart. This material is resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, including solvents, oils, acids, and bases. This chemical resistance makes it an ideal choice for applications where protection against chemical attack is required, such as in the chemical, petroleum, and food industries.

In addition to its intrinsic properties, aramid paper also offers good workability and flexibility, allowing easy handling and adaptation to a variety of configurations and designs. This feature makes it a versatile material that can be used in many different applications, from electrical components to protective clothing, from gaskets to thermal insulations.

In conclusion, this product represents an excellent solution for many industrial and technical needs. Thanks to its intrinsic properties of mechanical strength, dimensional stability, thermal resistance, and chemical resistance, this material offers superior and reliable performance in a wide range of applications. With its versatility, workability, and flexibility, aramid paper continues to be a preferred choice for present and future technical and industrial challenges.
