Abstract
An electrical insulation tape is disclosed comprising a sheet of mica paper impregnated with a B-staged polybutadiene polymer, a woven glass scrim next to the mica paper, a block copolymer sealing layer next to the glass scrim and optionally a polymeric sealing layer next to the mica. It has been found that the inclusion of about 0.1% to about 0.35% by weight of an organo titanate containing long saturated chains or reactive functional groups impregnated into the mica not only improves the moisture resistance of the tape, and therefore its useful life, but improves the dissipation factor as well.
Claims7
An electrical insulation tape comprising a sheet of mica paper impregnated with a B-staged polybutadiene polymer, a woven glass scrim next to the mica paper, a block copolymer sealing layer next to the glass scrim, and a polyethyleneterephthalate sealing layer next to the mica, wherein the improvement comprises:
- including about 0.1% to about 0.35% by weight based on the weight of mica present of a monoalkoxy titanate in the mica sheet to improve moisture resistance and dissipation factor.
An electrical insulation tape comprising a sheet of mica paper impregnated with a mixture of B-stage polybutadiene polymer and about 0.1% to about 0.35% by weight based on the weight of mica present of a monoalkoxy titanate, a woven glass scrim next to the mica paper, a block copolymer sealing layer next to the glass scrim, a non-woven polyester mat next to the mica, and a layer of mica dust on that side of the polyester opposite the mica paper.
An electrical insulation tape comprising a sheet of mica paper impregnated with a mixture of B-staged polybutadiene polymer and about 0.1% to about 0.35% by weight based on the weight of mica present of a monoalkoxy titanate, a woven glass scrim next to the mica paper, a block copolymer sealing layer next to the glass scrim, and a layer of release paper next to the mica paper on that side of the tape opposite the glass scrim.
