Kraft Insulation
Transformer Layer Insulation
Transformer Layer Insulation
The work horse of electrical insulation. High dielectric strength and purity, Kraft Insulation conforms to ASTM D1305 Type 4, as well as individual customer electrical specifications. Used in transformers and capacitors.
Kraft Insulation is produced in multi-layer form on a modified wet machine from an electrical grade, unbleached Kraft wood pulp. The dry finished sheets contain no sizing, coloring or other materials which would contaminate natural or synthetic impregnating oils.
Kraft Insulation is used as transformer layer insulation, capacitor can liner and in numerous other applications where the ultimate in electrical and physical strengths are required.
Kraft Insulation is available in sheets, strips, mill rolls and slit rolls in thicknesses from .007” to .062”. Above .062” to .250” is available only in sheets and strips. Above .040” thickness Kraft is laminated from dry sheets with a polyvinyl-acetate-polyvinyl alcohol formulation having good electrical properties.
