Application of silicone rubber adhesives in composite insulators

Power sector is one of the important infrastructures, which gets affected due to disasters leading to disruption in generation, transmission and distribution of electric power. One of the reasons is the deposition of pollutants on the insulators which start conducting during foggy weather conditions resulting in flashover and interruption of power. Amongst the non-ceramic insulators, silicone rubber insulator is better equipped to deal with flashover problems due to its unique hydrophobicity property. The hydrophobicity property of silicone prevents the formation of water forming on surface of insulator. Silicone rubber insulators have many advantages over the ceramic and glass insulators such as good performance in contaminated environment, easy handling, maintenance free, light weight, high strength to weight ratio, high impact resistance etc. Because of these properties it is gaining popularity worldwide and replacing the conventional ceramic and glass insulators in power transmission all over the world.

Composite insulators can take wind and rain and have good self-cleaning performance under wind and rain, so need checking for pollution only once every 4–5 years, and requiring less time for the repair and power interruption. Since the core rod has higher extension strength, composite insulators can result in very light overall weight. Their weight is only 10–20% of the weight of porcelain insulator strings of the same voltage class. Their length can be shortened by more or less 10% in the same voltage class, which can greatly reduce the labor of workers in transportation and field operation.

Composite to Metal Adhesives Bonding

Epoxy and Silicone adhesives achieve high quality structural bonds in joining composite to metal substrates. Bonded parts save weight, eliminate holes, are electrically insulative, provide improved stiffness and load bearing capability. Silicone adhesives composites bond well to metals, metal alloys such as aluminum, magnesium, steel and ultra-high strength steels. KANGLIBANG CL-24S-2PA, Silicone primer is to bond peroxide-cure silicone rubber with substrates like metallics (Metal, Carbon steel, Stainless Steel).
