SynTherm® – Insulating Materials Nomex® 411

Nomex® 411 is a synthetic electrical insulating paper constructed of a non-calendered, aromatic polyamide-fibrid flock composition.

Nomex® 411 is a Class H (180 °C) insulating material. Temperatures up to 200 °C have only a slight effect on its electrical properties. The good mechanical properties can be extrapolated at much higher temperatures. Due to the polymer structure, Nomex® 411 can also be used an temperatures as low as -190 °C with good effect. It has a high short-time electric strength. The permanent field strength, however, should not be greater than 1.2 kv/mm. Nomex® 411 is compatible with all classes of standard resins, varnishes, adhesives and transfomer fluids, lubricating oils and coolants. Common solvents can result in easily reversible expansion. Nomex® 411 paper is of low flammability (UL 94V-0); in addition, it has a very high resistance to beta and gamma radiation.
