Glossy Mica Plate for High-Temperature Electrical Insulation

R-5660-G series · Muscovite (G1) and Phlogopite (G3) · 0.1–5 mm thick

Glossy mica plate is a rigid mica laminate made from approximately 92% muscovite or phlogopite mica paper and approximately 8% high-temperature silicone resin, pressed into a smooth, glossy sheet. The result is a high-density insulation board that holds its dielectric barrier at 500–1000 ℃ with a breakdown resistance of 15 kV/mm — well above general-purpose insulating materials.

Two grades are supplied from the same production line: R-5660-G1 (muscovite, 500 ℃ continuous / 800 ℃ intermittent) and R-5660-G3 (phlogopite, 700 ℃ continuous / 1000 ℃ intermittent). Both are asbestos-free, UL94 V-0 rated, and can be stamped, turned, milled or drilled without delamination.

Why Glossy Mica Plate Outperforms General Insulation

01

Excellent insulating properties at high temperature

At 500–1000 ℃ operating ambient temperature, glossy mica plate keeps a voltage breakdown resistance of 15 kV/mm. At 23 ℃, dielectric strength is above 20 kV/mm and insulation resistance reaches 1017 Ω·cm.

02

Excellent mechanical properties

Flexural strength above 120 MPa with high surface hardness. The plate holds its shape under mechanical load and does not flex or deform under electrode pressure or clamping force.

03

Stable chemical properties

Excellent resistance to acid, alkali and oil with good ageing resistance. Water absorption below 1% means the plate does not swell or lose dielectric strength in humid environments.

04

No asbestos, low smoke

The formulation contains no asbestos and produces less smoke and odour than general insulation materials, even under heating. UL94 V-0 flame rating and smoke test under 4 seconds.

05

Excellent processability

Can be formed into various shapes without delamination. Sheets below 2.0 mm can be stamped; sheets above 2.0 mm are processed by turning, milling, drilling and other machining operations.

06

Smooth, glossy surface finish

The pressing process produces a flat, glossy surface on both faces with low friction and no visible mica flakes. The finish improves surface contact in clamping and insulation assemblies.

Applications

Heating

Mica heating element base

Insulating base plate for mica heating elements and resistive heating assemblies up to 700 ℃ continuous.

Buyer Questions

Q1

What is the difference between R-5660-G1 muscovite and R-5660-G3 phlogopite glossy mica plate?

A1

Both grades have the same construction — approximately 92% mica and 8% high-temperature silicone resin — and the same dielectric strength above 20 kV/mm at 23 ℃. The difference is the mica paper: muscovite (G1) runs to 500 ℃ continuous / 800 ℃ intermittent, while phlogopite (G3) runs to 700 ℃ continuous / 1000 ℃ intermittent. Choose G3 for furnaces and metallurgy equipment; choose G1 for standard high-temperature insulation. See Rigid Mica Plate for the thicker construction.

Q2

Which thicknesses and sheet sizes are available?

A2

Thickness runs from 0.1 mm to 5 mm: 0.1 / 0.15 / 0.2 / 0.25 / 0.3 mm and upward in 0.05 mm steps up to 5 mm. Standard sheet sizes are 1000 × 600 mm and 1000 × 1200 mm. Custom cutting and special sheet sizes are produced by mutual agreement.

Q3

Can glossy mica plate be stamped or machined into custom parts?

A3

Yes. Sheets below 2.0 mm thickness can be formed by stamping — commonly used for appliance heat shields, motor slot insulation and small insulation washers. Sheets above 2.0 mm are processed by turning, milling, drilling and other machining operations. Both routes can be done to drawing.

Q4

What is the packaging and shelf life of the plate?

A4

One pack is 50 kg in general. The plate is sealed with plastic film and packed in carton; a fumigation-free pallet is used for export with each pallet under 1000 kg, or the shipment is protected by metal drum. Stored in a dry, moisture-proof indoor place at room temperature, there is no service life limit.

Q5

Does glossy mica plate contain asbestos, and what is the flame rating?

A5

No asbestos is used in the formulation. Both R-5660-G1 and R-5660-G3 carry a UL94 V-0 flame rating, and the smoke test result is under 4 seconds. The plate produces less smoke and odour than general insulation materials under heating.
