General Description
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.
