Mylar® type MO21 films are strong, heavy gauge films that have excellent electrical properties. These films offer exceptional cut through resistance, low shrinkage, low moisture absorption, and high thermal durability. Mylar® type MO21 films are used as insulation in systems that have been given Class B ratings by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). They also offer product uniformity that enhances processing on automatic slot and wedge insertion equipment.

General Information N/A The inherit mechanical durability of Mylar® type MO21 films and their good dielectric and thermal durability characteristics endow these films with multiple advantages in motors and generators.
Special Features N/A Slit rolls are available in the following ID and OD configuration:
  • 3" ID 13" OD
  • 3" ID 16" OD
  • 3" ID 18" OD
Master rolls are available as shown in the Standard Put-up table. They are splice free and are available in selected widths in minimum order quantities of 35,000 lb per order with a minimum of 10,000 lb per item.
Typical Applications N/A Mylar® type MO21 films are being widely used for electrical insulation in slot liners, wedges and phase insulation for motors and generators. Mylar® type MO21 films are also frequently used in hermetic motor/compressor sealed units, fractional horse power motors, diaphragms, and industrial laminations.
