Cellulose paper

Cellulose paper for electrical insulation

Paper made from cellulose is used for:

  • isolate the electrical components
  • protect systems
  • ensure the safety of the installations

It is particularly well-suited for high electrical density applications.

Cellulose paper is positioned as a standard solution:

  • cellulose → cost-effective and reliable solution
  • aramide (Nomex) → high thermal performance
  • high rigidity
  • electric power → specific use

The choice depends on the technical constraints.

What is cellulose insulation paper

Cellulose insulation paper is a fibrous material made primarily from natural fibres, designed to provide a Reliable electrical insulation and good mechanical strength.

Its main features:

  • excellent dielectric properties
  • Good mechanical strength
  • flexibility and ease of transformation
  • Optimised cost

This is an ideal solution for standard electrical applications.

Cellulose paper versus other materials: What's the difference?
