Formex™ & Formex™ GK
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
