The Cogemicanite 505 sheets are mica laminates designed for providing outstanding electrical insulation even at high temperatures.

They are used for following applications:

• Heating wire support for industrial and household appliances; heater bands, annular heating elements, toasters, hair dryers, electrical heating systems…
• Punched pieces  
• Heating elements for extrusion machines
• Separating panels for fuel cells and electrical batteries

The Cogemicanite 505 sheets can withstand temperatures up to 700°C/1292°F in continuous operation or up to 1000 °C/1832°F in intermittent operation.

Flexible plates - Cogemicanite 132

The Cogemicanite 132 is a flexible micanite which can be formed at room temperature and is absolutely free of asbestos. This material is made out of Muscovite or Phlogopite mica paper, impregnated with a heat resistant binder and polymerized by a heat treatment. They are used in electro-domestic appliances, such as hairdryers, fan-heater type space heaters, circuit breakers, transformers etc….

Flexible Cogemicanite 132 can be easily cut to size, by shearing or die-stamping. Available thickness from 0,1 to 2 mm.

Thick rigid plates - Cogetherm

Cogetherm is a thick mica laminate designed for electromechanical and thermomechanical applications.

It is used for following applications:

• in forging presses, a Cogetherm plate can be placed between the plate and the die to prevent the loss of heat in the press mechanism - Cogetherm displays excellent compressive strength at high temperatures
 
• in the hollow glassware industry, Cogetherm’s thermal and abrasion resistance qualities are used to create components to guide the bottles as they emerge from the mold - their temperature is still as high as 700°C / 1292°F 
 
• in high voltage equipment, Cogetherm is used because of its dielectric strength and its resistance to arcing and electrical erosion 
 
• in the production of induction furnaces and arc furnaces, Cogetherm is used because of its thermal and electrical insulation properties and its permeability to high frequency wavelengths
• for the brazing of aluminium and copper discs to manufacture cooking pans

Cogetherm is designed for extreme conditions requiring one or more of the following characteristics:

• very good heat retarding and even flame resisting properties 
 
• low thermal conductivity 
 
• very good electrical insulation properties 
 
• high mechanical strength, particularly in compression, even at high temperatures 
 
• low sensitivity to chemical agents, especially oils and greases 

asbestos-free and non-toxic

Insulation for domestic appliances

COGEBI produces electrical and thermal insulation for use in the manufacture of domestic appliances. The rigid (505) or flexible (132) insulation can be cut very precisely using die-stamping.

The insulation complies with the IEC 371-3-3 standards, is classified as 94 V-0 by the UL 94 standard, and has been authorized for use in contact with food products (Certificate from the CERIA experiment and analysis center in Brussels).
