Mica Tubes

When ordering mica tubes, don’t envision a standard cylindrical tube.  Mica tubes can be customized in terms of shape, thickness, length, diameter, and material.  Since mica tubes are formed by multiple layers of mica paper, customizing mica tubes is very manageable.

AXIM’s mica tubes can withstand temperatures ranging from 130°C to 1000°C for high temperature and high voltage applications. We manufacture high temperature mica tubing in square, round, oval or rectangular shapes.

Our mica tubes meet NEMA standards and are convolute wound to increase strength and minimize seam lengths. These mica tubes are prepared by using mica paper or splitting mica fixed with glue or by using mica paper glued on side of reinforced material, then processed rolling. It has excellent mechanical strength and electrical properties. Suitable for all kinds of electric motors and electrical appliances, electrical smelt furnace, etc.

Size: Mica tubes are available in lengths between 3mm and 1000mm (0.19” and 40”) and an inner diameter between 3mm and 300mm (0.12” and 12”).

What are Mica Tubes?

Mica tubes are crafted from high-grade mica materials, known for their superior insulation properties. These tubes, hailing from the naturally occurring mineral mica, are pivotal in electrical and thermal insulation applications. Their construction involves wrapping mica paper around a mandrel, which is then hardened with silicone resin.

Traditionally used in electric motors, generators, and transformers, mica tubes offer exceptional dielectric strength and heat resistance, making them a cornerstone in industries requiring robust, reliable insulation solutions.
