Conclusions
Improved properties:
Thermal (insulation)
- higher thermal conductivity
- better bonding of layers better thermal properties at
elevated temperatures
- better delamination reserves at highest temperatures
Electrical (insulation)
- higher electric field strength
Ambient (insulation)
- same as standard
Mechanical (tape)
- reduced mica tape thickness
- higher tensile strength
- higher tear edge strength
- lower flexural strength
