pounds. I Melamine resins are a new group of high|rade thermosetting compounds. They are ised in very much the same manner as henolic resins for making laminates and inolded compounds. In their final poly merized form, these resins are not soluble in ifWater or alcohol and are highly resistant to finost organic solvents. Melamines are use;fful in imparting hardness and toughness, as Iwell as fast-drying properties, to other ^varnishes. During the war, submarine fires caused deaths which were attributed to the toxic fumes from phenolic resins. Glassmelamine laminates were substituted on

both control apparatus and rotating elec trical machinery on a large scale. Mela mine resins are also used in combination with-asbestos as well as cotton fabrics and paper to make laminates and molded parts. These products combine good arc resistance with tracking, moisture resistance, thermal stability, and low inflammability. It is ex pected that this type of resin and products employing it will become increasingly useful in the electrical industry.
Other important synthetic resins include the Amberols and Cumar, both similar to the phenolic type. There is a rapidly growing list of synthetic resins, some of which hold promise for future develop ments. The field is so large that it cannot be covered in this manual. Some of the newer resins may be of interest, how
ever, and they will be briefly mentioned below.
The vinyl resins are derivatives of ethyl ene and acetylene, with strongly polymeriz ing characteristics. These polymers are becoming increasingly important in the plastics and coatings field, including that of synthetic rubbers and rubber substitutes. Most of these materials are thermoplastics, do not set up or cure with heat alone, and many are very tough and chemically re sistant.
The simplest vinyl compounds are the alcohol, the chloride, and the acetate. Polyvinyl chloride is highly insoluble and flame resistant. Polyvinyl acetate is soluble in the proper solvents and thermoplastic. So-called copolymers of these have all manner of intermediate properties. These resins have wide uses, from adhesives and chemical-resistant coatings for food con tainers (Gelvas, Vinylites) to rubber substi tutes and artificial silk (Vinyon, Koroseal).
If polyvinyl acetate is hydrolyzed and treated with formaldehyde, a very useful group of resins results. These resins are in soluble in most solvents and chemically quite inert as well as being very tough and strong. Formvar is one of a class of resins called polyvinyl acetals. As a film-forming material it has the disadvantages of nitro cellulose and cellulose acetate. Its solu tions have high viscosity, adhesion is poor, and the thermoplastic film dries by solvent evaporation only.
Vinyon is a synthetic silk made from the copolymers of vinyl chloride and acetate similar in properties to nylon, which is a complex material more closely related to the alkyds in structure but having many similar properties to the vinyl polymers.
Silicone resins are a recent development and are applicable to class H insulation, where high thermal endurance is required.

The chemical nature and background are given in more detail in Sec. 2-14. These varnishes are available in a wide range of properties. It is theoretically possible to reproduce the general characteristics of all the organic varnish types in the silicone type of varnish. Silicone resins have good electrical properties to supplement their outstanding thermal endurance. Their physical properties are usually somewhat inferior to their organic resin counterparts. This is partly attributable to their slow cure except at very high temperatures. Inten sive activity is under way for further devel opment and evaluation of silicone resins and varnishes containing them. However, those now available commercially have many uses when applied with knowledge of their properties and limitations.
Silicone resins have been developed in two general classes. One is the insulating type which is comparable in most properties to the oleoresinous varnishes so long gener ally used for electrical insulation. There are two varieties of this class. The first such varnish requires baking temperatures sufficiently high (200 to 250 C) as to pro hibit its use on organic materials such as paper, cotton, and silk, and it should be used only on inorganic materials such as glass fiber, asbestos, mica, or ceramics. Tlie second variety, which was developed later, is comparable in general properties hut dries to a tack-free condition at 150 C. Complete cure, by chemical reaction, re quired further baking at temperatures of 200 to 225 C, which improves its film hard ness and strength at elevated temperatures. Both varieties are being used to treat glasscovered magnet wire, to coat fiber-glass cloth, and as a binder for building up flexible mica-glass-laminated sheet. They arc also used as the final impregnating and coating varnish to bind together the individ
ual machine components and waterproof the complete assembly. Another type of silicone resin corresponds in general be havior to the organic thermosetting resins normally used to make rigid laminated insulating parts. These thermosetting sili cone resins are being used to bond fibrous glass and asbestos.laminated structures and to bond special coils requiring hardness and rigidity.
A simple but significant property of all silicone compounds is their resistance to moisture. Silicone varnish films transmit moisture vapor at about the same rate as organic varnishes, but water does not easily wet silicone-resin-treated surfaces. There fore, conducting films of moisture are far less likely to form than under similar atmos pheric conditions on conventional organicresin-treated surfaces. The importance of this characteristic is hard to evaluate in gen eral terms, but it is apparently of consider able significance on shipboard electrical equipment.
For black varnishes, the asphalts or pitches play the same role as the resins do in the case of the clear varnishes and may be used together with resins. Among natu rally occurring asphalts (which are mined, much as rock minerals, from veins) are gilsonite, a hard brittle, substantially pure asphalt, and various softer, more plastic ma terials, such as the famous lake of asphalt in Trinidad. Various pitches are also avail able. These are the end products of the distillation of petroleum, coal tar, wood, and various vegetable oils and fats, chief of which is stearin pitch.
The pitches vary gready in solubility and melting point or flow point. Some may be modified to give increased elasticity and stability by blowing with hot air. Their stability in a varnish blend depends greatly upon the cooking and upon the thinner used.

Insulation, Electrical, Mica
Afi electrical insulation consisting of natural mica in the form of blocks or splittings. V hen pasted or built up with binders or reinforcement, the composite mica structure should be classified as Insulation, sheet, tape, or tubing.
NATURAL MICA
Mica (.Muscovite) Spec: HH-I-538
Insulation Class C
Class AM, Form S. Trimmed, uncut, natural mica in sheet form. Because of high cost and limited availability, only two types are shown here: type NMHs (heavily stained) and NMSt (stained). Where a higher quality type is required, justification
for its use shall be furnished the Bureau concerned along with the request or requisition. Minimum dielectric strength, 1,000 volts per mil. Sheet3 are not less than 0.004 inch or more than 0,050 inch in thickness. Approximate weight, 0.101 pound per cubic inch.

The above grades of insulating varnish are suitable
electrical apparatus in general. Grade CB, clear baking varnish, in most instances, gives maximum protection to the windings from moisture, oil, sea water, and other deleterious substances.
These grades are usually designated as class A insulation when applied over windings using resincovered wire, cotton, or paper or similar insulation material. When the above grades of varnish are applied over windings using glass-served wire, with
