High temperature motorette systems testing-evaluation of aromatic polyamide insulation

?Nomex?? nylon, formerly known as HT-1, is a high temperature resistant material being produced by Du Pont. This wholly aromatic polyamide fulfills the need for a material which combines high temperature durability with the mechanical and electrical properties required for broad utility in industrial and military uses. The polyamide is available as continuous filament yarn, staple fibers, and as paper structures of a wide range of weights, sizes, and densities. Initial reports on the properties of paper and fiber structures were given before the Electrical Insulation Conference(1) and the Textile Research Institute in 1962(2).
