Mica tape for fire-resistant cables is a specialized insulation material made from high-quality phlogopite mica paper, synthetic mica paper, or calcined muscovite mica paper, impregnated with high-temperature silicone resin. It is reinforced with alkali-free fiberglass cloth and plastic film, providing cables with excellent resistance to high voltage and extreme temperatures.
As a flame-retardant insulation material, mica tape is widely applied in the manufacturing of fire-resistant wires and cables used in demanding environments, including railway systems, marine cables, high-rise buildings, and wind power installations. In addition, mica tape with PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) is available, primarily designed for EV flash hiders and specialized cable assemblies.
For optimal performance, the selection of mica tape should be based on factors such as wire diameter, wrapping tension, wrapping angle, and wrapping speed. During application, the tape should maintain its integrity without breaking, and the insulated core should remain smooth, uniform, and free from mica shedding after wrapping.
