Phlogopite Mica Tape for fire-resistant cable is an insulation material made of superior phlogopite mica paper, impregnated with high-quality silicone resin and backed with a reinforcing material, which can withstand high voltage and exceptionally high temperatures.

Phlogopite mica tape is the Most Popular cable protection insulator material. It has good resistance to fire, acid, and alkali, as well as to corona and radiation, and good softness and tensile strength, making it suitable for high-speed winding. A fire test shows that the wire and cable wrapped with phlogopite can withstand 90 minutes at 840℃ and 1000V without breakdown.

Phlogopite glass fibre mica tape is widely used in high-rise buildings, underground railways, large power stations, important industrial and mining enterprises, and other places related to fire safety and fire rescue, such as fire equipment, emergency guide lights, and other emergency facilities for the power supply and control lines. Because of its low price, it is the first choice for fire-resistant cables.

Mica Tape Properties

  1. Excellent insulating property.
  2. High temperature resistant.
  3. Flexible, high-tensile suit for high-speed cable manufacturing.
  4. Eco-friendly, Free of toxic gases in a fire.
  5. Pass IEC60331 & BS6387 fire-resistant standard test for high-quality cable.

It has at least 3 hours of excellent electrical insulation at a Temperature of more than 850℃ and a Voltage of more than 1.0KV, with no breakdown.

Fire-resistant cables

Mica Tape Structure

High-quality mica paper is bonded to an electrical-grade glass fibre cloth (G type) as the reinforcing material, impregnated with a specially selected high-temperature-resistant silicone resin.
