About Flexible Mica Sheet
Flexible Mica Sheet
The thickness of our offered Flexible Mica Sheets ranges from 0.1 mm to 6 mm, depending upon the requirements of our customers, they can buy the sheets in the thickness from this range to suffice their needs. Major usage of these sheets belongs to the involves in the situation where insulation parts have to be rolled. For instance, in devices like electric heating bar, hair dryers, motors, etc. Needless to say, Flexible Mica Sheets are known for their great flexibility and hence, highly demanded in the market.
Flexible Mica Sheets are used for purpose of insulations where rigid sheets can't be used, where insulations need bends and turns,
It is available from 0.1mm to 3mm, in size 1000 x 600, 1000 x 1200 and in rolls
