Mica tape (also called micanite tape or mica insulation tape) is a roll of mica paper bonded to a backing material with epoxy or silicone resin, used as high-temperature electrical insulation. The mica paper may be natural phlogopite, calcined muscovite or synthetic mica, and the backing may be glass cloth, polyester, Kapton or PET. The tape form is used for wrapping coils, conductors and busbars; the thicker mica roll form is used for slot liners, barriers and form-wound coils in motors and generators. Kaxite supplies mica tape in 0.08–0.15 mm thickness with width from 4.5 mm to 1000 mm, and mica rolls in 0.2–0.8 mm thickness in 1000 mm standard width and 20–50 m length. Maximum continuous operating temperature is 800 °C (phlogopite), 900 °C (calcined muscovite) or 1000 °C (synthetic mica), with breakdown voltage above 10 kV/mm.
Mica tube (also called mica insulation tube or micanite tube) is a rigid hollow tube made from mica paper or splitting mica bonded with resin, formed by roll-winding and shaped into round, square, oval or rectangular profiles. It operates from 130 °C to 1000 °C, giving it advantages over industrial ceramic tubes: excellent electrical insulation, resistance to rapid temperature change, non-friable structure, flexible sizing, easy delivery and low cost. It is used as an insulation sleeve in hair dryers, air blowers, hot guns and many other electrical devices and heating elements, and is a standard choice for electric motors, electrical appliances and electric smelting furnaces where the continuous operating temperature does not exceed 1000 °C.
Mica gasket is a high-temperature, chemically-resistant sealing material made from high-grade phlogopite mica paper (an aluminosilicate of mineral origin) impregnated with a silicone binder. The phlogopite mineral gives the gasket its thermal characteristics and its outstanding resistance to solvents, acids and mineral oils, making it the preferred sealing material in automotive exhaust systems, gas turbines, heat exchangers and industrial burners. Kaxite supplies mica gasket as sheets (thickness 0.1–3.0 mm, width 1000 mm, length up to 2400 mm), as rolls (thickness 0.1–0.25 mm, width 500 or 1000 mm, length up to 300 m) and as custom strips or punched gaskets to drawing.
Mica sheet (also called mica board or micanite sheet) is a flat insulation product made from muscovite or phlogopite mica paper bonded with resin, available in both rigid and flexible forms. The plate-like crystal structure of the mica mineral gives the sheet superior electrical insulation, thermal insulation and chemical resistance — properties that make it the standard choice where heat meets electrical current. Kaxite supplies mica sheet in two rigid grades: MR SSP with heat resistance to 1200 °C and MR SSM to 1000 °C. Standard sizes are 1000 × 1200 mm and 1000 × 2400 mm; thickness ranges from 0.1 mm up to 101.6 mm. Applications include heating elements, induction / arc / high-frequency furnaces, high-voltage insulation and industrial gasket industries.
Soft mica sheet (also called flexible mica sheet or soft micanite sheet) is a compressible sealing material made by mixing mica material with a proper adhesive, then pressing and baking the compound into a flat sheet. It is soft and heat-resistant under normal conditions and delivers the best and most reliable permanent sealing characteristics. Soft mica sheet is used wherever a low minimum compression load is required — cutting into various gaskets, acting as filler for spiral wound gaskets, and forming a compensating seal in ceramic and steel joints that have unequal thermal expansion. Kaxite supplies soft mica sheet, model KXT-B501, in standard sizes 1000 × 1200 mm and 600 × 1000 mm, thickness 0.5–5.0 mm, with temperature resistance 650–900 °C, pressure capability up to 10 MPa and density 1.8–2.1 g/cm³.
Hard mica sheet (also called mica insulation board or asbestos-free mica board) is a rigid, high-performance insulation material made from mica paper bonded with 10–15% resin binder and pressed into dense sheet form. It is designed as a direct replacement for asbestos and other insulating boards in metallurgy, chemical engineering, electric heaters and electromechanical applications. The board combines high mechanical strength with good heat resistance, delivers a dielectric strength of 25 kV/mm at 20 °C (13 kV/mm after 1 h at 400 °C and 10 kV/mm after 1 h at 600 °C), and is UL recognized to 94V-0 flame class, file E216697. Kaxite supplies hard mica sheet model KXT-B502 / B502G with density 2.45 g/cm³, continuous heat resistance 500/700 °C, peak 700/1000 °C, in standard sizes 1200 × 1000 mm and 600 × 1000 mm, thickness 0.2–80 mm.
