What is Triflexil and what properties does it have?

Definition and properties of the flexible laminate

Triflexil is a high-performance flexible laminate from Pucaro, developed specifically for applications in electrical and insulation technology. By combining polyester films and Nomex paper, it offers an ideal mix of flexibility, mechanical stability and temperature resistance. It is frequently used in transformers, electric motors and other electrical devices that require reliability and long service life.

This laminate is characterised by the following properties:

  • High temperature resistance (usable up to 155 °C, thermal class F)
  • Mechanical strength
  • Excellent electrical properties
  • Flexibility

Manufacturing process for Triflexil

Triflexil is produced by a lamination process in which Nomex paper and polyester film are joined together under controlled conditions. This combination ensures a durable bond and high dimensional stability.

How flexible is Triflexil insulating material?

Triflexil offers excellent flexibility, making it ideal for tight windings and complex geometries. This property is particularly valuable for insulating transformer windings and electric motors, where precision and adaptability are required.

Which thermal classes can Triflexil reach?

Triflexil belongs to thermal class F, which means it is usable up to 155 °C. It retains its mechanical and electrical properties even at high temperatures, which makes it indispensable for applications in thermally loaded environments.
