Because they prevent the passage of electrical current between two conductors, electrical insulators are used in many applications. Below are the different electrical insulation solutions offered by ADDEV Materials.
These thin (<0.5mm) insulating polymer films, available in rolls, formats or cut peices, have a variable composition and applications
Examples:
These insulating papers are less than 1mm thick; single-film or polymers, or made of fibres, compressed, or in non-woven form, or evan an assembly of these two designs.
Examples:
Adhesive electrical insulators are flexible materials, in the form of rolls, with support; papers; films; glass fabrics or foams and coated with an adhesive mass.
There are mainly 5 types of insulating supports intended to receive one of the 3 types of adhesive mass, on 1 or 2 faces.
Important to note: Silicone adhesives have a particularly excellent resistance to extreme temperatures. Logically, silicone adhesives are therefore reserved for high-temperature insulating materials such as Kapton® or Teflon®.

In addition to being known for their non-stick properties, fluoropolymers (PTFE, FEP, PFA, etc...) have much better dielectric properties than other materials.
Example:
Among the different types of fluoropolymer films, single-sided PTFE Teflon® tapes coated with a silicone adhesive mass, have high dielectric strength, high chemical resistance and excellent temperature resistance.
An adhesive tape can be covered with an adhesive mass on one or both sides, depending on its use.
Example:
Kapton® type double sided tapes are composed of a polyimide film covered on both sides with a high temperature silicone adhesive mass. This product is ideal for electronic and electrical applications.
This range consists of rigid materials, in the form of tubes or boards (thickness 0.1mm to several centimeters), designed by an assembly of several layers:
This method combines the properties of different electrical insulators to design thick and machinable materials.
It is also possible to ensure the electrical insulation of hollow or difficult to access areas by using materials in liquid form, such as varnishes, mastics, and impregnation resigns

What are the cutting processes for insulation and technical films offered by ADDEV Materials? When they leave the manufacturer's premises, electrical insulators are available in rolls or boards. ADDEV Materials puts its expertise at the service of its customers by proposing the functionalization and the cutting of these insulators, in order to meet the specifications [...].
Choosing the right electrical insulation for the thermal class of your equipment In addition to ensuring a dielectric function , an insulating material must also have a temperature resistance corresponding to the conditions of use of the equipment to be protected. This ability is characterized by the thermal class and must be specified in the specifications. What is the [...]
All about the deterioration of dielectric properties No insulating material has an unlimited lifespan and the dielectric properties can degrade over time. Although the deterioration factors for these insulators may vary, the consequences are always the same: failure of the equipment to be protected. It is therefore essential to always choose the material adapted to the specifications. [...]
What is an electrical insulator and in what forms can it be found? Present in all industrial sectors, electrical insulators are indispensable elements, as they serve to protect equipment and people. These insulators come in hundreds of combinations of shapes, materials and assemblies, for sometimes very different applications. Here is a quick overview of these [...]
Gain in performance by modifying the design of electrical equipment, thanks to insulation There are several reasons why you may want to replace the electrical insulation materials in your existing equipment: Enhancing safety and endurance; The search for better performance for the same size; A need for miniaturization, with equivalent performance Here are a few [...].
