Backed by federal directives and increasing consumer interest, Electric Vehicle (EV) sales are expected to rise dramatically over the next decade. But EVs need vast quantities of energy in order to function. This energy is stored in high-voltage batteries that must have perfect electrical insulation to function correctly and as such, battery insulation sleeving is...Read More
When seeking insulation materials for extremely harsh environments, discerning engineers will often elect to go with mica tape for cables and wiring due to its fire resistance, extremely high dielectric strength, and excellent thermal stability. First, What is Mica?? Mica is the name given to a group of minerals that naturally forms in layers with...Read More
Shrink and release tape, or film has proven to be an essential facilitator in the processing of high-voltage coils and composites. These particular shrink tapes are able to serve dual purposes in the manufacturing of composites, or high-voltage components like coils. With options in the choice of materials and properties imbued into the tape, these...Read More
