Electrical Insulators
are either die cut with a steel rule die or stamped with a hard
steel male/female tools. In fabricating electrical insulating components,
AIF uses materials that are UL listed. COST-REDUCING
OPTION
AIF now offers components made from Formex GK(TM)
, a highly effective insulating material that enables customers
to upgrade their products and reduce their costs. With a temperature
rating of 115o C (239o F) and a UL 94V-0
rating down to a thickness of .017", Formex GK(TM)
outperforms fish paper, fiber and other traditional paper based
insulating materials. A development of Illinois Tool Works (ITW),
this material is a flame retardent polypropylene with a very low
(less than 1%) moisture absorption rate, a high dielectric strength
and, unlike paper-based products, is very stable dimensionally.
Formex GK(TM)
offers two significant benefits:
1. The dielectric strength, or electric insulating ability, of
Formex GK (TM) is over 6 times higher than
fish paper.
2. Fish paper absorbs up to 66% for Formex GK(TM).
Moisture absoprtion affects not only insulating qualities but
dimensional ability.
These characteristics are important in almost every application.
