SynTherm® – Insulating Materials SynTherm® VPV

SynTherm® VPV is a flexible 3-ply insulating material made of polyester film with a layer of polyester non-woven on both sides.

SynTherm® VPV is an insulating material without additional impregnants, which can be used for insulation class F (155 °C) systems after through impregnation with varnishes or resins of the corresponding insulation class. The ability of the non-woven layers to absorb impregnants results in outstanding saturation of the slot surfaces and exceptional bonding of all winding components with the laminated core.

SynTherm® VPV is characterised by its high resistance to moisture and chemicals and excellent dielectric strength. The smooth surface of the SynTherm® VPV makes the material ideal for machining.
