RTV Silicone High Voltage Insulator Coating
What is RTV Silicone Insulator Coating?
RTV Silicone means Room Temperature Vulcanizing Silicone. It cures at room temperature and forms a durable, flexible silicone layer on the surface of high-voltage insulators.
The coating provides a hydrophobic surface that helps prevent contaminants from becoming wet and conductive.
This can help reduce the effects of pollution and moisture on electrical insulators.
How RTV Silicone Coating Works
Contamination can accumulate on insulator surfaces because of:
- Industrial pollution
- Urban pollution
- Dust
- Salt deposits
- Moisture
- Dew
- Fog
- Light rain
When contaminants become wet, the surface can experience leakage current, discharges, dry-band arcing, and potentially pollution flashover.
The RTV silicone coating helps address this condition through its hydrophobic surface.
1. Contamination Accumulates
Pollutants and contaminants build up on the insulator surface.
2. Moisture Reaches the Surface
Dew, fog, light rain, or other moisture can wet the contamination.
3. Hydrophobic Surface Reduces Wetting
The RTV silicone coating provides an ultra-hydrophobic surface that helps prevent contaminants from becoming continuously wetted.
4. Protection During Dry-Band Arcing
The coating incorporates an arc-resistance filler such as Alumina Trihydrate (ATH), which helps suppress heat during dry-band arcing and reduce coating degradation.
Benefits of RTV Silicone High Voltage Insulator Coating
Reduced Insulator Maintenance
RTV coating can significantly reduce the need for regular insulator washing and cleaning, including in highly polluted environments.
Reduced Leakage Current
The hydrophobic surface helps suppress leakage current and can reduce losses associated with leakage current and corona discharge.
Suitable for Different Insulator Types
The coating can be applied to:
- Porcelain Disc Insulators
- Porcelain Long Rod Insulators
- Glass Disc Insulators
- Composite/Polymer Insulators
Long Service Life
The supplied product information states that the coating can provide a service life of more than 25 years, subject to application, environment, and service conditions.
In-Situ Application
RTV coating can be applied in-situ, reducing the need to dismantle equipment or insulator strings before coating.
Environmental Resistance
The coating is designed to withstand:
- UV exposure
- Tropical climates
- Extreme weather
- Environmental contaminants
- Major chemicals
Environmentally Friendly
The supplied information identifies the coating as non-toxic and VOC compliant.
Applications of RTV Silicone Insulator Coating
RTV Silicone High Voltage Insulator Coating can be used for:
- High-voltage insulators
- Electrical substations
- Transmission systems
- Distribution systems
- Switchyards
- Power utilities
- Industrial electrical installations
- Highly polluted electrical environments
- Coastal and salt-contaminated environments
Anti-Corrosion Protective Coating
Protect Industrial Assets from Rust & Corrosion
Industrial metal structures are continuously exposed to moisture, oxygen, UV radiation, chemicals, temperature changes, and other environmental conditions.
Without suitable protection, these factors can cause rust, corrosion, coating failure, and progressive degradation of metal assets.
Anti-Corrosion Protective Coating provides a protective barrier between the substrate and the surrounding environment.
Si-COAT® 579 Anti-Corrosion Coating
Si-COAT® 579 is a one-coat, self-priming, moisture-cure RTV polysiloxane coating designed for long-lasting corrosion protection in above-grade applications.
It is suitable for both new and retrofit locations.
Typical applications include:
- Structural steel
- Bridges
- Machinery
- Industrial equipment
- Heavily corroded areas
- Tank exteriors
- Metal roofs
- Cladding
- Outdoor steel structures
The coating is designed for applications where strong adhesion, flexibility, corrosion protection, and long service life are required.
Key Benefits of Si-COAT® 579
One-Coat Application
Si-COAT® 579 is designed as a single-coat system, helping reduce application time and labour requirements.
Self-Priming Technology
The coating provides strong adhesion to the substrate and can be applied with minimal surface preparation.
Application Over Existing Rust
The supplied product information states that Si-COAT® 579 may be applied over existing surface rust, subject to proper assessment and application procedures.
180% Elasticity
The coating has an elongation of approximately 180%, allowing it to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the substrate.
UV & Chemical Resistance
Polysiloxane technology provides resistance to UV exposure, abrasion, and many chemicals.
Rust Creep Protection
The flexible coating helps inhibit rust creep and reduces the risk of coating failure caused by substrate movement.
Hairline Crack Bridging
The coating can bridge hairline surface cracks and maintain a continuous protective layer.
