DuPont Materials

DuPont™ is a global provider of insulation materials and systems. The company offers a wide range of innovative products and services in more than 70 countries worldwide. Markets include agriculture and food, building and construction, communications, and transportation. DuPont provides Fabrico with laminates, papers, tags and labels, coated fabrics and mats, films, and polyester films.

As electric motors become smaller, high-performance, and last longer, better electrical insulation and heat management become more critical. DuPont has more than 40 years of expertise in providing industry-leading materials for insulation and heat dissipation. These materials can be used for many applications, including:

  • Slot liners
  • Wedges, midsticks, and topsticks 
  • Phase insulation 
  • Conductor wraps 
  • Coil wrap and interleaving 
  • Impregnating resins

Fabrico uses well-known DuPont materials such as Kevlar®, Nomex®, DuPont’s Teijin Films™ Mylar®, and Kapton®.

New and exciting applications include electric insulation for high performance motors and batteries in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Electronic Vehicles (EVs). In these applications, DuPont is working with OEMs and converters like Fabrico to identify new material properties and develop solutions for high performance/high temperature use.
