Cable paper

SIDA Cable Paper is a high-quality electrical insulation paper made from refined cellulose fibers, specially engineered for oil-filled and solid-type power cables.
It provides excellent dielectric strength, high purity, and mechanical stability, ensuring long-term reliability in medium and high-voltage cable applications.

Description

Description

SIDA Cable Paper is manufactured from 100% high-grade, chemical-purified cellulose pulp using advanced refining and sheet-forming techniques.
Its high electrical insulation performance and controlled porosity make it ideal for oil-impregnated paper-insulated cables (PILC) and resin-impregnated cables.

The paper’s high mechanical strength and uniform thickness ensure stability during winding and impregnation. Its excellent oil absorption capacity enables quick and uniform saturation with insulating oil, reducing the risk of partial discharge and improving dielectric breakdown strength.

SIDA offers different types of cable paper—slitted rolls, reels, and spooled tapes—to meet various voltage levels (up to 500 kV) and manufacturing requirements.
Each batch undergoes strict moisture, density, and conductivity control, in compliance with IEC 60554 and IEC 60641 standards.

Main Features:

Made from 100% pure cellulose

High oil absorption and low dielectric loss

Uniform thickness and excellent mechanical integrity

High chemical purity (acid-free)

Compatible with mineral oil and synthetic ester oils

Compliant with IEC and ISO standards

Eco-friendly and recyclable material
