Performance for Tough Environments

Norplex-Micarta announced the NP193 series of materials for applications requiring excellent dimensional stability, high wear resistance and superior mechanical strength.

The NP193 series includes four grades, NP193E, NP193M, NP193P and NP193PM: all are available in sheet form measuring 4’ x 5’ and up to 2” thick.

Each grade features a proprietary blend of aramid fabric substrates impregnated with various resins.

NP193E uses a high temperature epoxy resin for high wear resistance. NP193M uses a melamine resin, which makes it impervious to corrosives, such as anhydrous ammonia. It’s the optimal replacement for asbestos in refrigeration compressors.

NP193P combines a high temperature phenolic resin system with woven aramid fiber/glass fabric for excellent mechanical strength.

NP193PM combines high-temperature phenolic resin with aramid and “soft glass” fibers and a non-conducting solid lubricant. It has excellent mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and in adverse chemical environments, making it an ideal material for wear plates in conveyor systems, valve plates and compressor and pump vanes.
