Explore crepe paper and crepe paper tubes

What is crepe paper?

Crepe paper is mainly made of insulating kraft paper through wrinkle processing and has excellent oil solubility. It is widely used in the insulation of oil-immersed transformers, reactors and other components, especially as the insulation of lead components, to improve the electrical insulation and mechanical properties of the product structure.

Features:

1. Insulation level A (105℃)

2. Color: natural brown, beige

3. High purity and strong oil absorption ability

4.Good dielectric strength

5. Good compatibility with insulating liquids (mineral oil, silicone oil, askarel)

6. Does not contain conductive particles

What is a crepe paper tube?

Overview: Crepe paper tubes are made of electrically insulating paper tubes processed by special processes. The raw material is the same as crepe paper, but the shape is different to meet different application needs.

Features:

1. Insulation level A (105℃)

2. Color: natural brown, beige

3. The crepe direction is horizontal.

4. Can be bent in any direction without breaking

5. Good compatibility with insulating liquids

Common features of crepe paper and crepe paper tubes:

1. Insulation performance:

Both crepe paper and crepe paper tubes have good insulating properties. This means they effectively isolate electrical current, prevent the risk of electric shock, and provide electrical insulation protection.

2.Cable insulation application:

Crepe paper and crepe paper tubes are both commonly used in cable insulation applications. They can serve as an insulating layer to protect the conductors inside the cable from the external environment and ensure the normal operation of the cable.

3. Physical protection:

Both crepe paper and crepe paper tubes can provide physical protection. They protect the cable or insulation from external pressure, abrasion or damage and increase the cable's durability and service life.

4. Plasticity:

Both crepe paper and crepe paper tubes are malleable and can be flexibly bent and shaped as needed to accommodate the shapes and sizes of different cable or insulation components.

The difference between crepe paper and crepe paper tubes:

1. Different shapes:

Crepe paper exists in the form of paper with creases and longitudinal stretch properties. Crepe paper tubes are made by rolling crepe paper into a tube shape to form a hollow cylinder.

2. Different application scopes:

Crepe paper is mainly used in electrical insulation, cable insulation packaging and other fields. It can be used as an insulating layer to isolate current and prevent the risk of electric shock. Crepe paper tubes are commonly used in cable insulation protection, wire harness packaging, insulation filling and other applications to provide additional physical protection and insulation properties.

3. Different physical properties:

Crepe paper usually has high insulating properties and effectively prevents the flow of electrical current. It also has some flexibility and wear resistance. Crepe paper tubes inherit the insulating properties of crepe paper and have a certain amount of strength and compression resistance due to their tubular structure.

4. Different sizes and specifications:

Crepe paper sizes can be customized as needed and are usually supplied in sheet form. The dimensions of crepe paper tubes usually cover diameter, wall thickness, length, etc. to meet different application needs.

Pros and cons of crepe paper and crepe paper tubes:

Advantages of crepe paper:

1. Various shapes: Crepe paper products are suitable for insulation of irregular shapes and surfaces inside transformers.

2. Low cost: Compared with wrinkle paper tubes, wrinkle paper is usually cheaper and more cost-effective.

Disadvantages of crepe paper:

Low mechanical strength: Crepe paper has relatively low mechanical strength and may not be able to withstand high voltage, tensile or impact loads, requiring additional physical protection measures.

Advantages of crepe paper tubes:

Higher mechanical strength: Crepe paper tubes have higher mechanical strength than crepe paper, providing better physical protection against external pressure, wear or damage to cables or insulation materials.

Disadvantages of crepe paper tubes:

Limited size and shape: Crepe paper tubes are limited in size and shape and may not fit some special shapes or sizes of cables or insulation components.

Higher cost: Compared with crepe paper, crepe paper tubes usually have a higher price and higher cost.

In short

Crepe paper and crepe paper tubes each have their own advantages and disadvantages. In specific applications, evaluation and selection should be made based on actual needs and requirements.
