It is the base material for components like Cylinders, Strips, Spacers, Rings, Washers, Plates, Machine formed and Shaped Parts, Punching and Laminates. Multiple methods like Sawing, Punching, Planing, Sanding, Milling, Routing, Bending and Glueing for Processing the boards to components can be mentioned.

Types of Cellulose Base Boards & Insulation Paper



Calendered Pressboards

Calendered solid pressboards are made on an intermittent board machine using high quality cellulose. The boards are flattened in a hydraulic press, dried, and subsequently calendered to achieve a smooth finish. No bonding agent is added during manufacturing. The boards have wire marks on one side. The entire manufacturing process is monitored and controlled, right from the preparation of pulp to the formation and drying of the sheets. 

Calendered solid pressboards are ideally suited for use in power and distribution transformers as winding Cylinders, Spacers, Strips, etc.

  • High density & purity
  • Uniform thickness & dimensional stability
  • Low compressibility & shrinkage
  • High mechanical & electrical strength

Precompressed Boards

Precompressed boards are produced from 100% pure and unbleached softwood sulphate pulp. The main properties of this material are its high chemical purity and low conductivity. The process involves dehydration, compression, and drying – all performed in a special hot press. Precompressed boards score very high in mechanical and electrical strength and offer dimensional stability, low compressibility, and shrinkage.

Precompressed boards are ideally suited for use in the Cylinders, Plates, Washers, and Supports of Power and Distribution Transformers.

Four types which can be provided by us are:

Type 410: calendered, it is available in thicknesses from 0.05 to 0.76 mm (2 to 30 mil).

This type provides the best mechanical properties, and it is the most widely used version

Type 411: non-calendered, it is available in thicknesses from 0.13 to 0.58 mm (5 to 23 mil).

This type is often used as soft cushioning material or when conformability and impregnability are of importance.

Type 414: calendered, it is available in thicknesses from 0.09 to 0.38 mm (3.4 to 15mil).

This type provides improved flexibility and conformability vs. Type 410, and more strength than Type 411.

Type 418: calendered, this type contains 50% in weight of inorganic mica, and it is produced in a thickness range between
0.08 and 0.36 mm (3 and 14 mil).

The mica content provides improved corona resistance for electrical applications, as well as enhanced flame resistant behavior (LOI of ~63%).

Crepe Paper

Insulation crepe paper is one of the most important solid insulation materials used in transformers. Its quality directly influences the life span of the transformer.

This crepe paper is used as an insulation in manufacture of oil cooled transformers, current transformers of types IMB, CT, CVT, etc. as leads and shields. This crepe paper has 300% more strength in mechanical and cross mechanical directions and hence is more resistant to breakage. It can also take various shapes of the surface being insulated. Crepe paper also has greater surface area which helps to retain more oil and hence lowers the working temperature of the transformer.

It is also used to cover copper conductors having various cross sectional shapes. This paper is used to cover copper conductors bent at an angle of 180. As a result this insulation will not break or tear or crack compared to plain kraft paper insulation.

We can provide crepe paper in the thicknesses starting from 1.5 mil (40 microns) upto 10 mil (250 microns).  We offer these papers in the form of jumbo rolls of 1000 mm (1 meter) width or in slitted size as per customer request.

We offer Flexible Crepe paper Tubes manufactured utilizing quality crepe paper. Having tolerance of +0.5 mm (I.D.) and +1.0 mm (O.D.), these tubes are extensively used as sleeves for interconnection of terminals. These tubes are also acclaimed for having higher rate of absorption of oil that further ensures higher di-electric strength as compared to conventional SRBP tubes.

Kraft  Paper

The quality Insulation Kraft Papers offered by us are appreciated for features such as good insulation property, high temperature tolerance, non toxic, bio-degradable and easy to use. These are used in various electrical applications such as insulation of Transformers, Wrapping of DPC Wires, Cable Industry and other Electrical items. Further, our Insulating Kraft Papers are slitted paper as per the accepted industrial specifications.
