TOTAL ACQUISITION COST

Look beyond
the price per kilogram.

A lower tape price does not always mean a lower cost for the finished cable. The grade of tape, the amount applied and the resulting cable construction all affect your total material requirement.

We compare suitable grades and taping arrangements to identify opportunities to use less mica per metre of cable. Production trials and finished-cable fire testing establish whether a proposed change meets your requirements.

WORKING WITH YOUR TEAM

Practical support from material
selection to production.

01 / CONSTRUCTION REVIEW

Understand your current cable.

We work with your technical and manufacturing teams to review your existing tape grade, conductor sizes, taping arrangement and required fire performance.

02 / MATERIAL SELECTION

Select the mica grade.

We help identify suitable mica tape grades and thicknesses, considering their electrical, mechanical and processing characteristics alongside your cable requirements.

03 / MICA USAGE

Optimise the amount applied.

We review material selection and application together, including layers and overlap, to identify opportunities to reduce mica consumption per metre of finished cable.

04 / PRODUCTION & VALIDATION

Trial and test the construction.

We support your team as you assess the proposed construction through production trials and fire testing. Changes are evaluated against the required performance of the complete cable.
