SynTherm® – Insulating Materials SynTherm® YT511 (metastar® YT511)

SynTherm® YT511 is a synthetic electrical insulating paper consisting of a non-calendered, aromatic polyamide fibride flock composition.

SynTherm® YT511 is a Class H (180 °C) insulating materials. Temperatures of up to 200 °C only slightly influence the electrical properties. The good mechanical properties can be extrapolated to significantly higher temperatures. Due to the polymer structure SynTherm® YT511 can also be used a low temperature of up to -190 °C. It has a very high short-term dielectric strength.

SynTherm® YT511 is compatible with all common classes of resins, varnishes, adhesives and transformer liquids, lubricants and cooling agents. Commonly used solvents may lead to minor, reversible expansion. SynTherm® YT511 paper is of low flammability (UL 94V-0) and very high resistance to beta and gamma radiation
