Content
Paper manufacturing
Composition of wood:
≈ 45% Cellulose
≈ 15% Hemicellulose
≈ 35% Lignin, Resin
≈ 5 % Minerals
Pine wood
Only the pure cellulose fibres can
be used for manufacturing of high
grade insulation papers.
From wood to cellulose
In a special process known as
Kraft- or sulphate process the
cellulose fibres are extracted
from the wood.

Paper manufacturing
Cellulose is a polymer made of repeating
glucose molecules
Chemical structure of the cellulose fibres
In cellulose fibres many polymers are
connected by hydrogen bonding
Degree of polymerisation (DP):
• Length of the molecule chains
• DP value of new presspaper: approx. 1200
• End of life is reached at a DP value of 200
• Test standard: IEC 60450

Presspaper
KREMPEL-DPP
• Manufactured from presspaper with a diamond-pattern resin
coating. The epoxy resin is still in the reactive B-stage.
• After application of heat and pressure for a certain time, the
partial resin coating of KREMPEL-DPP leads to bonding of
the electrical conductors with the layer insulation and mutual
bonding of the insulation material layers. The large axial and
radial mechanical forces arising in the case of a short circuit
are safely tolerated by this internal strengthening of the coil.
• At the same time the partial coating leaves empty spaces
between the insulation and the electrical conductors:
- Air and moisture can be removed more easily.
- Faster oil impregnation.

Fibre Structure
• All fibres are oriented either in machine direction
or in cross machine direction.
• Due to the production process the amount of
fibres oriented in machine direction is higher
than the amount in cross direction.
• Different behaviour in the three major directions:
- Tensile strength, elongation
- Shrinkage

Influence of moisture
Moisture in pressboard insulation means:
• Reduced dielectric strength
• Lower PD inception voltage
• Accelerated degradation of the cellulose
fibres

• The different production methods of cellulose based insulating materials
cause different properties and make them suitable for various applications.
• Due to the fibre orientation presspaper and pressboard are anisotropic materials
which have different properties in machine direction and cross direction.
• Due to the highly hygroscopic behaviour of cellulose based materials it is
recommended to protect dried parts from picking up moisture again.
• An optimized drying process for all pressboard insulation parts used in a
transformer is essential to ensure a long life in service.
