Performance Priorities
What Power-Component Manufacturers Need From Silicone Rubber
Our technical discussion starts with the performance risks of the final electrical component rather than a generic material description.
Tracking & Erosion Resistance
Important for outdoor insulator and arrester housings exposed to electrical stress, contamination and moisture.
Breakdown Field Strength
Supports electrical insulation performance in insulators, cable insulation and related high-voltage components.
Điện trở suất thể tích
High resistivity is essential for limiting leakage current through insulating silicone rubber materials.
Tear & Tensile Strength
Helps the compound withstand demolding, assembly, cable handling and mechanical stresses in service.
Elongation & Flexibility
Especially important for wire, cable, cold-shrink parts and components that must accommodate movement or deformation.
Processing Stability
Consistent plasticity, hardness and shrinkage help manufacturers control extrusion, molding and final dimensions.
