Norplex-Micarta announces micro ID tubing for high performance applications

Norplex-Micarta, the leading manufacturer of high performance thermoset composites, announces the availability of Micro ID convolute tubing materials. Micro ID tubing is ideal for such high performance applications as extra-fine bearings in the electrical market and insulation and support components in the LNG market. Inside diameters for Micro ID tubing range from 0.094″ – 0.187″ and outside diameters range from 0.156″ – 0.500″. Norplex-Micarta normally delivers all Micro ID tubing products within two to three weeks of receipt of order.
Norplex-Micarta Micro ID tubes are available in lengths of 18″ – 24″ with paper, cotton, or glass fabric substrates. Phenolic paper grades such as the RT629 and RT630 are used in electrical, heavy industrial, and general purpose applications for extra-fine bearing. The RTB320X, composed of an extra-fine weave linen cloth and phenolic resin, is ideal for applications requiring mechanical strength and low abrasion, such as ball bearing retainers for high speed, small diameter rotary equipment. A glass fabric grade, such as the RT500X, utilizes an extra-fine weave glass reinforcement with an epoxy resin system for cryogenic insulation and support components for LNG storage containers.
Norplex-Micarta tubing composites are available in various sizes, with inside diameters ranging from 0.094″ – 48″ and outside diameters of 0.156″ – 58″. Wall thicknesses range from 0.031″ – 500″. Norplex-Micarta tubes meet requirements of NEMA/ASTM Grades X, XX, XXX, C, FR4, LE, G3, G5, G7, G9, and G10 for tubing.
