Power transformer insulation materials are core components that determine equipment safety, temperature resistance and service life. For a long time, the high-end thermally upgraded insulation paper market has been monopolized by imported brands, resulting in high procurement costs, long delivery cycles and insufficient supply flexibility for transformer manufacturers. With the continuous upgrading of domestic power equipment manufacturing standards, high-performance localized insulation materials have become an inevitable trend. Thermally Upgraded Kraft Paper launched by Hanyao breaks the technical barrier of imported products, providing a cost-effective and stable alternative solution for power and distribution transformer insulation.
Industry Pain Points: Limitations of Traditional Imported Insulation Paper
Traditional ordinary kraft paper has poor high-temperature resistance and is prone to oxidative aging under long-term high-temperature operation, failing to adapt to the high-load working conditions of modern transformers. In the past, high-standard thermally upgraded insulation paper relied heavily on imported products represented by Weidmann. However, imported materials have obvious drawbacks including expensive pricing, rigid specifications, long customization cycles and after-sales lag, which greatly restrict the production efficiency and cost control of transformer manufacturers. Therefore, the power industry is in urgent need of mature domestic TU paper to replace imported materials.
Technical Upgrade
Different from common kraft paper, Thermally Upgraded Kraft Paper adopts professional nitrogen modification technology. By replacing oxygen elements in pulp with nitrogen, the material effectively inhibits high-temperature oxidation and aging, achieving comprehensive improvement in temperature resistance, insulation stability and mechanical performance. Its core replacement advantages are as follows:
Higher Thermal Stability:
The product supports long-term stable operation at 120°C, solving the aging and failure problems of ordinary kraft paper under high-temperature working conditions, and effectively extending the overall service life of transformers.
Excellent Electrical & Mechanical Properties:
Made of 100% electric-grade unbleached pulp, it features stable electrical strength, qualified water extract conductivity and pH value, as well as outstanding tensile and tear resistance. It fully meets the winding stability requirements of power transformers.
Anti-Aging Performance Reaches Imported Standard:
The nitrogen content is stably controlled at 1.1%-2.3%, and the tensile strength aging residual rate is up to 75%. The overall performance indicators are fully comparable with imported high-end insulation paper.
Cost & Supply Advantages:
As a mature domestic alternative material, it eliminates the premium cost of imported products. With complete stock specifications and flexible customization services, it greatly shortens the delivery cycle and optimizes the procurement cost for transformer manufacturers.
Hanyao’s Thermally Upgraded Kraft Paper covers mainstream industrial thickness specifications including 50μm, 65μm, 85μm and 125μm, with a regular width of 625mm. It supports customized size production for bulk orders, fully adapting to diverse transformer processing requirements. With stable air permeability, low ash content and low moisture content, the paper is widely used for coil interval insulation of power transformers and distribution transformers, perfectly matching the supporting standards of high and medium voltage power equipment.
Industry Outlook: Localized Insulation Materials Become The New Trend
Industry insiders indicated that with the improvement of domestic power equipment manufacturing level and the acceleration of supply chain localization, high-performance domestic thermally upgraded insulation paper is gradually replacing imported monopoly products. With equivalent performance, more flexible supply and higher cost performance, Thermally Upgraded Kraft Paper has become the mainstream choice for transformer insulation material upgrading.
After years of technical polishing and market verification, Hanyao has achieved stable mass supply of nitrogen-modified thermally upgraded kraft paper, providing reliable, standardized and cost-effective insulation solutions for global power equipment manufacturers. Request a quote!
