Thermoset and mineral-based complex insulator material family
Category A
Main characteristics: 

Resin-based versions: high mechanical strength, excellent electrical insulation, very good thermal insulation.
Products made from mica: unique mechanical properties, excellent heat resistance, not flammable, high dielectric strength, excellent compressive strength and modulus, low water absorption, resistance against many chemicals and mineral oils.
Tribological materials (improved sliding and wear properties): self-lubricated materials with solid lubricants, resistance against mineral oils and fats, low water absorption, excellent chemical resistance, low friction and improved wear resistance.

Basic grade: 
resin and mineral based polymers
Special grade: 
mineral- and lubricant reinforced (filled) composte versions
Main areas of use: 
Where high temperature resistance needed beside the good mechanical and/or tribological properties, furtheremore the normal thermoplastics can not be used.
Machining technology: 

Cutting (turning, milling, drilling, sawing): In many cases due to layer structured anisotroph plates the machining is difficult. Application of jigs is necessary to minimize the cutting stress. Hard metal, diamond tools can be used only in sharp design.

DOCATHERM Products

Docatherm 1000

Molded plates

Color: 
white

Where there is no special mechanical need beside the heat resistance. It can be used up to 1000ºC.

Docatherm 1100

Molded plates

Color: 
grey

Where there is a special attention to low heat conductivity beside the excellent heat resistance. It can be used up to 1100ºC.

Docatherm 220M

Molded plates

Color: 
yellow

It is typically offered for machined parts made from semi-finished products. Even distribution of glass fibre reinforcement can offer isotropic behaviour. It has excellent heat and electrical insulation capability. Max. service temperature is up to 220ºC.

Docatherm 250M

Molded plates

Color: 
brown

It has similar properties and application field like, but max. service temperature is up to 220ºC.

Docatherm 600M

Molded plates

Color: 
grey

Muscovite mica with excellent electrical insulating properties and thermal resistance up to 600ºC.

Docatherm 800M

Molded plates

Color: 
dark grey

Phlogopite mica with excellent electrical insulating properties and thermal resistance up to 800ºC.

Docatherm-glide DBG 180

Molded plates

Color: 
dark grey

Beside the excellent, low friction it has good electrical insulating properties, too. It can be used up to 160 – 180ºC.

Docatherm-glide DBG 260

Molded plates

Color: 
grey

Among Docatherm-glide tribo-materials this version has average good heat resistance. Heat resistance is up to 220 – 260ºC.

Docatherm-glide GA

Molded plates

Color: 
black

Similarly to Docatherm-glide GA 450 it has high mineral-based solid lubricant content and can perform very low friction. Heat resistance is up to 600ºC.

Docatherm-glide GA 450

Molded plates

Color: 
dark grey

It has higher mineral-based solid lubricant content and can perform very low friction. Heat resistance is up to 450ºC.
