DuPont Teijin Films Mylar® MO Polyester Film, 500 Gauge
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP; Polyester Film

Material Notes: Product Description: Mylar® MO polyester film has excellent electrical properties. This film offer exceptional cut-through resistance, low shrinkage, low moisture absorption, and high thermal durability. Mylar® MO film is used as insulation in systems that have been given Class B ratings by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). It offers product uniformity that enhances processing on automatic slot and wedge insertion equipment.

The inherit mechanical durability of Mylar® Type MO film and its good dielectric and thermal durability characteristics give this film multiple advantages in motors and generators.

Typical Applications: Mylar® MO film is being widely used for electrical insulation in slot liners, wedges, and phase insulation for motors and generators. This film is also frequently used in hermetic motor/compressor sealed units, fractional horse power motors, diaphragms, and industrial laminations.

Approvals: UL 94 VTM-2 - for 500 gauge ( 0.13 mm only)
