Insulation affects how well your furnace works and how long it lasts. When your furnace loses heat, it uses more energy and wears out faster. The right insulation helps prevent that. Nomex Paper and Mica Products are two materials that play a key role in reducing heat loss and protecting furnace components from extreme temperatures.
If you work with induction furnace components, choosing the right insulation matters. At Lawatherm, we provide spare parts that support long-term furnace performance. Here’s how Nomex Paper and Mica Products help keep your furnace running smoothly.
What Nomex Paper Does for Furnace Insulation
Nomex Paper is made from aramid fibers. It holds up well under heat and is used to insulate both mechanical and electrical parts. It resists heat up to 250°C without breaking down, which makes it useful in many furnace settings.
Why Nomex Paper Works
- Thermal strength: Nomex Paper continues to insulate even in high heat.
- Electrical safety: It resists electrical breakdown, which protects wiring and coils.
- Durability: It keeps its shape and strength in tough environments.
- Flame resistance: It does not catch fire easily, reducing risk in high-heat zones.
Where You’ll Find It
You can use Nomex Paper in several parts of your furnace setup:
- Wrapped around induction coils to stop short circuits and overheating.
- Inside transformers or motors to shield windings.
- As liners in furnace panels to reduce heat escape.
If your furnace has exposed coils or wiring, adding Nomex Paper can help prevent damage and improve safety.
How Mica Products Support Furnace Longevity
Mica Products come from a mineral known for handling extreme heat. Mica can take temperatures above 1000°C without melting or breaking apart. It’s often made into sheets or tapes and used in parts where both heat and electricity are a concern.
Why Mica Helps
- Heat endurance: Mica won’t break down under furnace-level temperatures.
- Insulation: It resists current leakage and helps protect sensitive components.
- Flexibility: Despite being a mineral, mica sheets can bend and fit around components.
- Chemical resistance: It does not corrode easily, even in tough factory conditions.
Common Uses in Furnaces
Mica Products are used in places where heat and electricity overlap:
- Inside coil systems to avoid overheating or voltage leaks.
- Between the furnace wall and core parts to act as a thermal shield.
- Around electrical controls or terminals to keep them safe from nearby heat.
- In areas that need extra mechanical support and insulation combined.
If your furnace is used continuously or under heavy loads, using mica in these spots helps reduce failures and saves on repair costs.

What You Should Consider
Are you replacing insulation regularly? Do parts of your furnace show signs of heat damage? Are you losing power due to electrical leaks or overheating? These are all signs that better insulation could help. By switching to Nomex Paper or Mica where it counts, you can get more out of your equipment without increasing your energy use.
It’s not about overhauling the whole system—it’s about placing the right material in the right place.
Final Thoughts
Nomex Paper and Mica Products are proven to protect furnaces from heat, reduce damage, and keep operations stable. They are useful in many areas of induction furnace components, especially where temperature or electricity are factors.
