High-Voltage Insulators
Silicone composite insulators minimize flashovers caused by harsh environments and industrial pollution. Flashovers are a major cause of power outages.
Insulator Maintenance
Coating existing glass and ceramic insulators with high-voltage insulator silicone coating reduces the risk of flashovers. It also reduces routine maintenance costs.
Underground Cable
Silicone fluids are used to repair failed underground power cables in place without the costly and time-consuming process of digging them up.
Transformers
Silicone fluids cool and insulate electrical transformers. They also make them safer and more fire resistant.
Power Station Maintenance
Silicones lubricate circuit breakers and insulate electrical coils in motors. They also protect electronic controls, further contributing to trouble-free power station operations.
