SynTherm® – Insulating Materials SynTherm® AHA

SynTherm® AHA is a flexible 3-ply insulation consisting of a polyimide film with a calendered aramid paper layer on both sides.

The excellent electric and thermal properties of the polyimide film and the excellent mechanical and thermal properties of the outer aramid paper layers result in a high per-formance insulating material. The outer layers protect the polyimide film against hydrolysis influences and mechanical stress.
