Synthetic mica tape is mainly used to produce Class A fire-resistant cables. The domestic market penetration rate needs to be improved in the future.

Synthetic mica tape refers to a mica tape produced by bonding synthetic mica paper and glass cloth. It is a type of fire-resistant insulating material. According to different structures, synthetic mica tape can be divided into single-sided synthetic mica tape, double-sided synthetic mica tape, three-in-one mica tape, etc.

Synthetic mica paper is an important base material for synthetic mica tape. It refers to a roll-shaped insulating material made of synthetic mica as raw material, chemically or hydraulically peeled and broken into pulp paper, and then cut and rolled. my country is one of the world’s largest producers of synthetic mica, and its output of synthetic mica ranks among the top in the world. Global New Materials International is the largest supplier of synthetic mica in China. Currently, the company’s annual output of synthetic mica can reach 8,000 tons. The sufficient supply of upstream raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of the domestic synthetic mica tape industry.

According to the “2023-2028 Synthetic Mica Tape Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, Synthetic mica tape is a type of fire-resistant insulating material with excellent performance. It not only has the excellent properties of natural mica tape such as high dielectric strength, low dielectric loss, strong tensile performance, high resistivity, small expansion coefficient, and strong insulation. It also has the unique advantage of extremely high fire resistance, which can reach Class A fire resistance level (950-1000℃).

At present, synthetic mica tape has become a key material for the production of Class A fire-resistant cables (can maintain normal operation for more than 1.5 hours under flame conditions of 950-1000°C) due to its superior performance. As the application fields of Class A fire-resistant cables continue to expand, the market demand for synthetic mica tapes continues to increase, and the industry shows good development prospects. At this stage, Class A fire-resistant cables have been widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace, electric power and other occasions that require higher fire resistance levels. As a result, the domestic synthetic mica tape market size has reached 2.85 billion yuan in 2022.

There are many domestic mica tape manufacturers, mainly including Sichuan Dongcai Technology, Hubei Pingan Electrical Technology, Zhejiang Rongtai Electrical Equipment, Zhejiang Bofei Electric, Suzhou Jufeng Electric, Beijing Yitian Lingyun Technology, Xi’an Xidian Electrician, Suzhou Taihu Electrical, Hunan Hengyuan New Materials, etc. Domestic mica tape products are still dominated by natural mica tape. The market share of synthetic mica tape is still relatively low. Its market share will be less than 40% in 2022. In the future, local companies will need to continue to optimize production processes and increase the market supply of synthetic mica tape. Capacity and Penetration.

Industrial analysts said that synthetic mica tape is a type of fire-resistant insulating material with excellent performance. Fire-resistant cables play an important role in the manufacturing scene. In recent years, as the application fields of Class A fire-resistant cables continue to expand, the market scale of synthetic mica tapes continues to expand, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, the current mainstream product in the domestic mica tape market is still natural mica tape, and synthetic mica tape has a low market share. In the future, local companies will need to continue to improve their technical level and accelerate the market penetration of synthetic mica tape.
