Formex™, Formex™ GK, and Statex™

 

 

In the 1980’s the need for a low-cost durable electrical insulation material resulted in the development of a flame retardant plastic material by the ITW Technology Center. Today, three grades of material are marketed under the Formex™, Formex™ GK, and Statex™ brand names. All are UL recognized electrical insulators.

 

 

 

 

Formex™, Formex™ GK, and Statex™ materials are used to comply with UL, CSA, IEC, VDE, TUV, BSR or MITI standards when there is a need for electrical insulators and barriers. This unique product family has successfully replaced a variety of flame retardant sheet materials including polycarbonate, polyester, PVC and aramid papers.

 

 

 

Formex , Formex GK and Statex have the following features:

                                            
                        • UL 94V-0 Flame Class Rating
                        • Non-hygroscopic (moisture absorption < 0.1%)
                        • Excellent dielectric strength
                        • Superior score and folding ability
                        • Economical
