Electrosil – Silicone Rubber

Electrosil Silicone Rubber Compounds are typically used in various electrical applications, including transmission and distribution (T&D), due to their excellent properties that enhance performance, reliability, and safety. These silicone rubber compounds offer several benefits that make them ideal for such applications:

Key Features of Electrosil Silicone Rubber Compounds for Transmission and Distribution:

1. High Temperature Resistance: Silicone rubber compounds can withstand high temperatures, typically ranging from -60°C to 200°C, making them ideal for outdoor T&D environments where temperature variations are common.

2. Electrical Insulation: They provide excellent electrical insulation properties, which are crucial for preventing electrical breakdowns and ensuring safe and efficient transmission and distribution of electricity.

3. Weather and UV Resistance: Silicone rubbers are resistant to UV rays, ozone, and weathering, which is essential for T&D applications exposed to the elements. They maintain their integrity and performance even under harsh environmental conditions.

4. Hydrophobicity: Silicone compounds exhibit excellent water repellency, preventing moisture ingress that could potentially damage electrical components or cause short circuits.

5. Durability and Long Lifespan: Silicone rubber compounds are known for their long-lasting performance, which reduces maintenance costs and the need for frequent replacements.

6. Flexibility: These compounds maintain their flexibility over a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for use in flexible cables, insulators, and seals in T&D systems.

7. Environmental Compatibility: Silicone rubber compounds are considered environmentally friendly, as they are non-toxic and do not release harmful substances into the environment.
