Power outages due to dirty insulator flashover are an expensive
nuisance to industries that require an uninterrupted power
source. Flashovers cause hours of machine downtime and unnecessary
expenses.
PREVENT AND ELIMINATE THE EXPENSE OF INSULATOR
FLASHOVERS WITH Si-COAT 570 HVIC
Insulator flashover results from contamination that settles
on the insulator surface. When combined with environmental
moisture, leakage current develops which can lead to flashover.
Older methods to prevent flashover such as frequent water
washing or greasing are time consuming.
Instead, coat your insulators with Si-COAT 570 HVIC; the
coating which has proven itself to give the best flashover
protection for years upon years – even in the most adverse
of conditions.
Si-COAT 570 HVIC is a one-part, room temperature vulcanizing
(RTV) polysiloxane (silicone) coating. It’s unique and
patented formulation provides a highly hydrophobic surface
for its entire life. Because it is a Si-COAT product, it is
not affected by UV light, corona discharge, chemical contaminants,
salt, extreme temperatures or corrosive environments.
Si-COAT 570 HVIC is engineered with exact amounts of non-reactive,
low molecular weight silicone and ingredients with precise
particle sizes for optimum performance and reliability. The
benefits are twofold: Superior retention of hydrophobicity,
ensuring a tremendously long life span, and a more robust
self-cooling mechanism to protect the surface from physical
damage in the case of dry band arcing.
No heat is required to cure Si-COAT 570. This means the
free fluid in the coating does not react during curing. Thus,
more free fluid is available – dramatically enhancing
coating performance.
Si-COAT 570 HVIC applies very smoothly and easily. This
translates into a material saving and enhanced performance
characteristics.
On your next project, choose Si-COAT 570 HVIC for the world’s
most reliable protection against leakage current leading to
flashover.
