So, what is a cable insulation test and why are they important? Let’s dive in. Types of Cable Insulation Tests Analytical Testing This insulation testing method is...Read More

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more and more popular in the automotive industry. Just last year, EVs accounted for 18% of all cars sold in 2023, a 35% increase from 2022. As these vehicles become more common on the roadways and more popular with consumers, it is important to focus on the safety and functionality...Read More

Thermal insulation materials play a key role in preventing thermal runaway in batteries, maintaining an acceptable temperature in heated tube bundles, and protecting heat-sensitive products. These materials minimize heat transfer, keeping electrical and battery applications running smoothly and safely. There are a few common properties of thermal insulation materials that make them ideal for these...Read More

Insulation solutions are crucial for a range of applications. From high-voltage electrical to batteries to thermal insulation, these solutions not only need to function properly, but they also need to fit. Die-cutting is a manufacturing process in which a machine uses a metal component called a die to cut specific shapes from a material. It...Read More

High voltage insulators are necessary for the function of numerous power generation products, including motors and hairpin motors for electric and hybrid vehicles. These insulation solutions are also critical to keep those working around and with power generation products safe. So, how do high voltage insulators work, and what options are on the market? What...Read More

Lithium ion batteries are the most popular rechargeable batteries on the market, being found in our cellphones, laptops, electric vehicles, power tools, digital cameras, tablets, e-readers, and more. These batteries are electrochemical devices that release and store electrical energy through the movement of lithium ions between their anode and cathode. While these batteries are immensely...Read More

There are various types of electrical wire insulation on the market, with each implementing different materials including polyimide, Teflon®, and mica tapes. Each has properties that make them ideal for electrical insulation for specific applications — from aircraft to appliances.
