La Misolet offers its mechanical processing services on technical materials such as: Vulcanized Fiber, Formex, Nomex, Mylar, Presspan Electron.
These materials are all suitable for industrial sectors such as: mechanical, textile, automotive, electrical and electrotechnical.
Vulcanized fibre, also called vulcanite, is the hard fiber for dielectric applications. Composed of cellulose and cotton fibres, it is obtained by treating paper or paper pulp with zinc chloride.
Vulcanized fiber is available for direct sale in sheets or strips. Ideal as an electrical insulator, as well as continuously resisting up to 110°C.
Our staff is available to support customers in choosing the best material for their projects.
Vulcanized fiber is a light material, with good mechanical resistance and excellent dimensional stability. This material is non-toxic and inert, free of dangerous emissions because it is made of 100% cotton. Consequently, even if burned or inhaled in the form of dust, it does not cause harm. We can define vulcanized fiber as completely ecological even in terms of disposal.
There are various applications of vulcanized fibre: it is used for different types of electric motors, for automotive and industrial equipment such as abrasive discs, for the creation of low voltage switches and even to create hand tools and household appliances.
It is used to make loom components such as shuttles, trolleys, vases and containers for the textile industry, given its ecological and non-irritating nature.
Formex is an electrical insulator made of polypropylene, which offers good dielectric strength, excellent resistance to humidity and chemical agents to protect electronic elements sensitive to environmental damage and prevent short circuits and damage caused by electrical discharges.”. It can be easily engraved, folded and thermoformed, making it a highly versatile product. Available in reels and tapes, it is a flame retardant material and is therefore widely used in the furniture and lighting sectors.
Formex GK offers excellent dielectric properties and has significant flame resistance. In this regard, it complies with UL94 V0 standards, the main flammability requirement.
This material resists temperatures up to 120°C and is also fireproof.
Finally, Formex GK has excellent bending performance and can be defined as a versatile material.
Formex GK possesses exceptional flexibility and durability, useful for a variety of industrial and consumer applications. This electrical insulator is used to protect delicate components within LED lighting, IP security cameras, access control systems and digital signs, transformers. Wide application in electronics industry.
Nomex is composed of pressed sheets of aramid paper, made of aramid fibres, i.e. hot-calendered synthetic polymers of aromatic polyamide. It is defined as a high-performance fiber or engineering fibre, designed for specialist industrial applications, although also used in other areas.
The Nomex polymer has high dielectric strength characteristics and is characterized by an amazing resistance to flame and heat, but also by the non-toxicity of fumes.
This paper is mechanically strong and flexible, also performing in terms of stability at cryogenic temperatures.
It is available for direct sale to the customer in reel and tape.
This material guarantees a high level of safety and fireproof protection, also thanks to its insensitivity to humidity and resistance to radiation.
Classified with thermal class 220°C as well as V0 self-extinguishing according to the UL-94 standard, Nomex is used for a wide range of applications.
In the form of fiber it is used to make protective clothing, including for aerospace or the oil sector. The electrical sector is the other field of application for this polymer.
Mylar transparent polyester film is a particularly strong and durable translucent film.
It has good tensile strength, excellent resistance to humidity and most chemicals, and has a temperature class of B:130°C in continuous operation. These characteristics make it suitable for many uses in the electromechanical industry.
For purchase it is available in reel and tape.
Mylar has great tensile strength, tear strength and also good impact resistance. It also stands out for being heat resistant and being impervious to oils and greases.
It is an excellent electrical insulator, which finds different uses in some industrial sectors.
Due to its particular characteristics, Mylar is used in transformers for technically demanding purposes, in cables and conductors of medium and high power electric motors with high performance, in capacitors and in membrane switches.
To understand the specificities of the material it is possible to consult with our technical staff, ready to advise you.
Presspan Electron is an insulating cardboard made entirely of pure cellulose sulphate, calendered and without any use of glues.
For sale this material is available in sheets, tubes and strips.
Our specialized staff supports customers in understanding its characteristics and possible uses.
The Presspan Electron has a high resistance to compression, it also has high mechanical resistance and excellent compatibility with cooling fluids (mineral oils, silicones, etc.).
It has high electrical resistance and the material is bendable and twistable.
It should be known that it has an insulation class A: 105°C in continuous service.
This material is used for the insulation of electric motors, low voltage oil transformers, switches, spacers, die-cut insulating pieces, insulator gaskets.
Particularly suitable for all applications that require an insulator with excellent heat stability, high chemical purity and high mechanical and electrical resistance.
The custom cutting of insulating panels is one of the mechanical processes that we make available to our customers.
Furthermore, thanks to the support of specialized technicians, we are able to provide the service of mechanical machining according to the customer's design on CNC machining and blanking centres.
