Nomex Paper Tubing

Nomex Paper Tubes 1)Nomex® tubing is made by spirally winding strips of Nomex® using a uniquely formulated adhesive for lamination. Insulating tubing of this high temperature, flame-resistant, nylon paper offers significant functional and economical advantages over present high-temperature, insulating sleeving. 2)Tubing of Nomex® will operate continuously at 220°C in UL recognized systems. It does not support combustion and has excellent chemical and radiation resistance. 3)Nomex® can also be used in virtually any combination of plastic films, papers or substrates which we currentlyspirally wind. This allows us to meet your exact needs when the properties of more than one material are required.
