What Is DDP Insulation Paper?
DDP insulation paper stands for Diamond Dotted Paper. An electrical insulation material.
This paper results from coating kraft or crepe paper with B-stage epoxy resin. They apply the coating in a diamond pattern. The resin activates under heat and pressure, creating a strong bond between coil layers during transformer winding.
Key Properties:
- Made from 100% pure cellulose insulation paper
- Resin coating thickness: ~5–8g/m²
- Epoxy resin activation temperature: 105–120°C
- Supplied in roll widths from 25mm to 1250mm

How DDP Works in Transformer Coil Assembly
During winding, ddp paper is layered between turns or sections of copper/aluminum conductors. The dry resin coating stays tack-free until it cures. During curing, it melts and bonds layers together. This creates a strong, gap-free insulation structure.
Benefits During Coil Assembly:
- Keeps winding layers from shifting
- Minimizes air gaps (reduces corona discharge risk)
- Speeds up curing and drying operations
Post-Curing Advantages:
- Strong mechanical bonding between layers
- Enhanced dielectric and thermal performance
- Withstands thermal cycling during transformer lifespan
Applications Across Transformer Types
DDP insulation paper is widely used in medium to high-voltage power and distribution transformers.
Oil-Filled Transformers:
- Layer insulation for HV and LV coils
- Prevents oil channel collapse because of resin bonding.
- Improves partial discharge resistance
Dry-Type Transformers:
- Essential for building stable, vibration-resistant coils
- Resin bonds create a solid mass with minimal deformation
Common Application Zones:
- Interlayer insulation between round or oval windings
- Slot liners and phase separation barriers
- Corner padding and end-layer retention in core winding
