Uncalendered Nomex® Aramid Paper 411 (DuPont) – Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in India
Uncalendered Nomex® Aramid Paper 411 is the meta-aramid insulation paper from DuPont known worldwide as one of their most recognized insulation materials, and this material serves as a basis for comparison for all the other competing aramid papers. Being uncalendered, this sheet retains the open structure of its fibers allowing for deep and even penetration of the resin and varnish into the winding thus forming a thorough layer of bonding and not merely coating.
As usual for our aramid papers, Nomex 411 comes in the standard 5, 7, 10, 15 and 23 mil thickness series and features UL 94 V-0 / VTM-0 fire resistance, 28.5% Limiting Oxygen Index at normal temperature (21.8% at 220°C), and 220°C RTI (both electrical and mechanical performance) tested to IEC 60819-3-3 Type 3. Dielectric strength is 9 kV/mm for thinner sheets and 7 kV/mm for 23 mil at AC rapid-rise testing (ASTM D149), while full-wave impulse strength is 16–18 kV/mm. Tensile strength goes from 18 N/cm (for 5 mil) to 57 N/cm (for 23 mil) (ASTM D828). Shrinkage at 240°C does not exceed 0.6% in machine direction for all gauges.
DuPont Nomex 411 aramid paper in India is made available by Harnawa as a manufacturer, supplier, and exporter for insulation purposes in the motors, transformers, generators, alternators, and coils. Such applications require outstanding flame performance and a proven thermal class, which applies to traction motors, EV power train components, and industrial machinery constructed to certain safety standards. Since it is from the DuPont range of products, it also becomes the default product specified in OEM drawings which call for “Nomex paper.”
For projects where a non-branded, non-calendared alternative with similar porosity is acceptable, it’s worth comparing Nomex 411 against Uncalendered Aramid Paper X611 – X-Fiper, or against the wide-temperature-range Uncalendered Aramid Paper YT 511 – Metastar — all three sit within our full Aramid Papers category. Where the design calls for a laminated construction rather than a single-ply aramid sheet, our Laminated Insulation Paper Composites range (NMN, NHN and AHA constructions) combines aramid with polyester or polyimide film for higher dielectric strength in a single composite.
Nomex 411 is commonly used together with Insulation Tapes High Temperature for coil banding, Insulating Varnishes and Thinner for impregnation, and — in EV and traction applications — alongside our Fiberglass Insulated Cables – PTFE / Silicone and Insulation Sheets & Electrical Insulation Components for full slot and harness insulation systems. Harnawa manufactures, stocks and exports genuine DuPont Nomex 411 across standard rolls and custom-slit widths, with UL, CE, RoHS, REACH and ISO 9001:2015 certification, to customers across India and international export markets.
Key Applications of Nomex® 411
- Motor, transformer, generator and alternator winding insulation on drawings that specify Nomex by name
- EV and traction motor insulation systems requiring documented UL 94 flame class
- High-reliability industrial machines built to strict electrical safety codes
- Coil and slot insulation in applications with repeated thermal cycling
- OEM builds where a defined RTI (220°C) is a purchasing specification, not just a preference
Why Source Nomex 411 from Harnawa
Harnawa provides genuine DuPont Nomex 411 in India in all the thickness range of 5-23 mil and each reel can be matched with the testing data done by DuPont itself for its dielectric strength, flame class and RTI properties. In case where OEM drawings specify Nomex as such, using the authorized supplier saves from the risk of using an alternate material. Harnawa has export documents in place for UL, CE, RoHS, REACH, and ISO 9001:2015.
FAQs – Uncalendered Nomex® Aramid Paper 411 (DuPont)
Q1. Is this really DuPont Nomex paper?
Yes, Nomex® 411 is DuPont branded meta-aramid insulation paper from Harnawa in uncalendered, non-woven state.
Q2. What is the flame/thermal rating of Nomex 411?
It has UL 94 V-0 / VTM-0 flame rating, RTI of 220°C for both electrical and mechanical property, tested per IEC 60819-3-3 Type 3.
Q3. What gauge/thickness range is available?
Nomex 411 is available in 5, 7, 10, 15 and 23 mils gauges, dielectric and tensile strength values are available for all thicknesses.
Q4. Where is Nomex 411 used?
Used in Motor, Transformer, Generator and Alternator Winding Insulation & Coil Winding application that requires a UL Thermal Class Rating and Flammability rating.
Q5. In what way does Nomex 411 differ from X611 or YT 511?
Both Nomex 411, X611, and YT 511 are meta-aramid uncalendered papers with comparable porosity and absorption properties of resin, with Nomex 411 being a registered trademark of DuPont with its own UL 94 fire class and RTI rating, while X611 and YT 511 are X-Fiper and Metastar brands manufactured by Harnawa. Make sure you check out the specifications and compare them before replacing any of these products with the other one.
Q6. Is Harnawa a supplier and an exporter of Nomex 411 from India?
Yes, Harnawa Insulations is the manufacturer, supplier and exporter of Nomex 411 aramid paper made by DuPont company.
