Sodium Hydroxide Process for Removing Magnet Wire Insulation

摘要

A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using molten sodium hydroxide to strip polyimide insulation from magnet wire. The study showed that the most important variables affecting the quality of a final stripped part could be easily controlled, and the potential safety hazards manifested by the use of sodium hydroxide at high temperature could be addressed. A stripping tool was designed using the data accumulated in the study. (ERA citation 11:027947)
