Insulation Presspaper Manufacturer

SIDA’s insulation paper portfolio represents the cornerstone of reliable electrical insulation systems worldwide. Engineered from high-purity cellulose fibers through precision papermaking processes, our insulation papers deliver exceptional dielectric performance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability for the most demanding power transmission and distribution applications.

Kraft Paper

Our insulation kraft paper is manufactured through a controlled sulfate pulping process that preserves the natural strength of cellulose fibers while achieving exceptional purity and uniform density. Available in a comprehensive range of thicknesses, basis weights, and surface finishes, our kraft paper is designed to meet the diverse insulation requirements of oil-immersed transformers, cables, capacitors, and rotating machinery across all voltage ratings.

Cable paper

Our cable paper is manufactured from highly refined, long-fiber cellulose through a precision papermaking process that optimizes both electrical and physical properties. Designed for lapping and wrapping applications, our cable paper features controlled porosity for efficient oil or compound impregnation, uniform caliper for consistent dielectric thickness, and superior flexibility to withstand the demanding conditions of cable installation and operation.

Diamond Dotted Paper

Our Diamond Dotted Paper consists of high-quality insulation kraft paper with precisely embossed diamond-shaped dots on one or both sides, creating a three-dimensional structure that maintains uniform spacing between winding layers. This engineered geometry ensures consistent oil flow paths throughout the transformer core, preventing hotspots and enhancing cooling efficiency. Available in various dot heights, densities, and base paper specifications, our DDP can be customized to meet specific transformer design requirements across all voltage classes.
