PM H is the mechanically strongest grade in the PM series (GPO 1), used e.g. as thermal insulation plates in constructions that require high-strength properties.
Only available as sheet.
PM H and PM 953 are the two most mechanically comparable grades in the PM series: PM H reaches 250 MPa bending strength against PM 953's 180 MPa. Both share the same CTI of 600. PM H goes further still, offering the highest mechanical class in the series, though it's positioned as a thermal class H material rather than as a straightforward upgrade path from PM 953.
Suitable for electrical insulation and other electrical applications.
Suitable for applications where the materials are exposed to mechanical impact.
The material remains functional and retains its properties even at high temperatures.
Resistant material with long service life.
