High Temperature Insulation

Heron Brand Tufnol

Heron Brand Tufnol is a first class electrical insulating material with very low moisture absorption. It is especially suitable for use in humid or tropical environments, where its electrical properties are retained to a high degree. Heron Brand Tufnol has excellent electric strength, very high insulation resistance after immersion in water and is designed to meet the very highest electrical standards for phenolic paper materials in BS and IEC Specifications. Heron Brand Tufnol is easy to machine and can be hot punched up to 3.2mm thick. 

Applications:

A wide range of electrical insulation applications where high insulation performance is required in a moist or humid environment. Customers may also consider the use of epoxy and other materials for these applications.
