Description Features
The M-2 Plastic THINSULATOR pipe insulator The flexible M-2 Plastic THINSULATOR
®
is a high-density, polyethylene product, injection conforms to the pipe for uniform coating
molded to provide low cost insulators of highest loading. Its low friction coefficient enables it to
quality. This high-density polyethylene gives the slide easily inside the casing.
M-2 such strength that it is made more compact Electrical properties include its dielectric
than other insulators. strength: short time, 1/8” thickness, 500
volts/.001 inches (D149-64). ®
M-2 Plastic THINSULATOR
The casing insulator has robust mechanical 6” (3 Segments)
properties. The tensile strength is rated at
4,000 psi at 20 inches/minute. Elongation is
25% at 20 inches/minute. It is resistant to
impact fracture, with a notched toughness Patented in the United States and in foreign countries.
