High Density Kraft Paper

High density electrical grade insulation kraft paper in a thickness range of 3 mil to 10 mil, made to your specified thickness for applications that call for higher density.

High Density Kraft Paper is our electrical grade insulation kraft paper produced to a higher density, for designs that call for it. It is available in a thickness range of 3 mil to 10 mil, made to the thickness your specification calls for.

It shares the process of our standard Electrical Grade Insulation Kraft Paper: 100% imported virgin fibre, de-mineralised process water throughout, dual-ply construction, and offline calendering and supercalendering.

High Density paper is also the base for DDP-HD, our Diamond Dotted Paper with the heat-curable epoxy coating applied to the high density base.

Key characteristics

  • 100% imported virgin fibre from Europe and North America
  • De-mineralised process water throughout
  • Dual-ply (twin layer) construction as standard
  • Offline calendering and supercalendering for uniform thickness and density

Applications

  • Transformer interleaving
  • Bushings
  • Distribution transformers
  • Power transformers
