The new VICTREX XPI polymer grades are designed to meet all extrusion wire manufacturing processing needs and offer a combination of excellent electrical, mechanical, high-temperature and chemical resistance performance for e-motor magnet wire to enable reliable insulation performance, extended vehicle range, reduced cost and faster charging for high-performance motors. Designers can benefit from

APTIV films provide durability and reliability in the most demanding application environments. They incorporate all of the outstanding properties of VICTREX™ PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) polymer in a thin film format. Their balance of properties make them amongst the highest-performing, most versatile thermoplastic films on the market. When used as stator slot liner insulation, APTIV XPI film enabl

PEEK-based bearing insulation combines excellent electrical insulation, high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance and creep resistance to help mitigate bearing electrical erosion, improve motor reliability and potentially reduce costs compared with hybrid ceramic bearings. Laboratory testing and simulations conducted in collaboration with AVL support the feasibility of this approach.
