Pressed Mica Sheets

Mica is a mineral raw material with outstanding dielectric, thermal and physical properties. Von Roll developed the technique of converting mica scraps from the mine into mica paper registered under the trade name Samica® based either on muscovite or phlogopite.
Samica® is then impregnated with an appropriate bonding resin and heat-pressed to be consolidated into Samicanite® laminates. The various types of paper and the different resins and fillers enable Von Roll to achieve the particular properties of mica paper laminates, which are characterized by excellent, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. Typical applications include electrical engineering, induction ovens, the automotive industry and the household applications industries such as microwave ovens, hair dryer etc..
