R-5461-P · Phlogopite Series

Phlogopite Mica Tape for Fire-Resistant Cable

Phlogopite mica tape is built on phlogopite mica paper as the base, reinforced on one or both sides with alkali-free glass fibre cloth or polymer film (such as PE), bonded with silicone resin, then high-temperature baked, dried and slit to finished rolls. The tape is wrapped between the conductor core and the outer sheath of fire-resistant cables, keeping the circuit live while the fire is still burning.

Where calcined muscovite is the cost-optimised workhorse, phlogopite is the choice when the cable has to survive 750–850 ℃ for 90 minutes without breakdown, and it holds up well in high-humidity and chemically aggressive environments.

Three Layers, One Fire Barrier

Structure
01

Phlogopite mica paper

The mica layer is the dielectric core. Phlogopite keeps its insulation at 750–850 ℃ for the full 90-minute fire window, and mica content runs >60% to >70% depending on the grade and thickness.

02

Glass cloth or PE film

Reinforcement on one or both faces carries the tensile load. Choose GS / GD for glass only, GFD for glass plus film, or FS for film only — each combination targets a different wrapping line and cable design.

03

Silicone resin bonding

Bonded with silicone resin and baked at high temperature. The bond resists acid and alkali, ages slowly, and releases no toxic gas under high temperature — a requirement in tunnels, ships and enclosed public buildings.

Four R-5461-P Grades

Type Codes
R-5461-P-GS

Glass Backed Phlogopite Mica Tape

Single-sided alkali-free glass cloth. The most widely ordered phlogopite grade. 0.08–0.15 mm thick, breakdown voltage >1.0 to >2.0 kV, tensile strength ≥150 to ≥200 N/15mm.

R-5461-P-FS

Film Backed Phlogopite Mica Tape

Single-sided PE film. Film carries a very high dielectric strength of >5.5 kV at both 0.10 mm and 0.14 mm, suited for thin-wall cable constructions where glass cannot be used.

R-5461-P-GD

Phlogopite Mica Tape with Glass on Both Sides

Glass cloth on both faces. Higher thickness bands (0.14 / 0.16 / 0.20 mm) and higher binder content for heavy-duty fire wraps. Breakdown voltage up to >2.5 kV.

R-5461-P-GFD

Phlogopite Mica Tape with Glass and Film

Glass and PE film on each side. Combines the mechanical strength of glass with the dielectric performance of film. Breakdown voltage >3.5 kV across 0.12 / 0.14 / 0.16 mm.

Product code: R-5461 = Rongtai product serial number · P = Phlogopite · GS = glass on single side · GD = glass on both sides · GFD = glass and film on each side · FS = film on single side.

What the Phlogopite Grade Delivers

Performance

750–850 ℃ fire window

No breakdown for 90 minutes at 750–850 ℃ and 600–1000 V, meeting IEC 60331 and the fire-resistant cable specifications written around it.

Stable dielectric strength

Breakdown voltage climbs with thickness — from >1.0 kV at 0.08 mm to >2.0 kV at 0.15 mm on GS, and >5.5 kV on FS at both thicknesses.

High tensile strength

GS grade runs ≥150 to ≥200 N/15mm across the thickness range — enough to survive high-speed wrapping around tight conductor cores without tearing.

Chemical and ageing resistance

Excellent resistance to acid and alkali with strong ageing resistance. In a dry, room-temperature store the tape keeps its properties for at least one year.

Clean burn behaviour

No toxic components in the formulation and no toxic gas released at high temperature — important for tunnels, ships and enclosed public buildings.

Four reinforcement options

GS, GD, GFD and FS cover glass-only, glass-both-sides, glass-plus-film, and film-only constructions, all from the same R-5461-P family.

Typical Applications

Use
Oil platforms Multi-storey buildings Power stations Industrial plants Tunnels Computer centres Aerospace centres Telecommunication centres Ships Military installations

Buyer Questions

FAQ

How does phlogopite mica tape differ from calcined mica tape?

Both use mica paper as the base. Phlogopite mica paper keeps its insulation at 750–850 ℃ for the full 90-minute fire window and is the preferred grade for high-humidity and chemically aggressive environments. Calcined muscovite is a cost-optimised alternative for volume cable production. See Calcined Mica Tape for the cost-focused option.

Which of the four R-5461-P grades should I choose?

Choose GS for the most widely used single-glass construction, GD for heavy-duty double-glass wrapping, GFD when both mechanical strength and high dielectric strength are needed, and FS for thin-wall cable designs that require >5.5 kV breakdown voltage without glass cloth.

What thicknesses and roll lengths are available?

Thickness runs from 0.08 mm to 0.20 mm depending on grade. Slitting width runs from 4.5 mm to 1000 mm. Standard roll lengths are 500 m, 1000 m and 2000 m on 52 mm, 54 mm, 76 mm or 120 mm cores.

Which fire test standards does the tape meet?

IEC 60331 and 750 ℃–850 ℃ for the full 90-minute fire window. The GS, FS, GD and GFD grades all carry the same fire rating; the difference is reinforcement type, thickness band and dielectric performance.
