The power generation industry is a large consumer of high temperature thermoset laminates, pre-pregs, and specialty molded shapes. Norplex-Micarta offers a full line of these composite materials, all certified to meet the most demanding industry specifications. The products have the unique ability to provide both electrical insulation and thermal resistance, as well as provide mechanical support in high temperature generators and transformers. With these special capabilities, Norplex-Micarta materials are preferred by OEMs such as ABB, General Electric, and Siemens Westinghouse.
