Si-COAT® 570 HVIC™ RTV Silicone High Voltage Insulator Coating

Si-COAT® 570™ High Voltage Insulator Coating (HVIC) is a room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone product. Unlike competitive products, it is supplied ready-to-use without the need of additional thinning or excessive mixing/shaking before use. Si-COAT® 570™ HVIC is based on extensive research and development work that lead to the award of a patent. The basis of the Si-COAT® 570™ patent is the optimally-sized alumina trihydrate (ATH) particle and the optimum concentration of the ATH ingredient, discovered by the engineers and chemists at CSL Silicones Inc. The presence of ATH in the formulation of the HVIC is necessary to protect the coating from the damaging effects of tracking under high electrical activity along the surface of the coating. It is essential that the ATH particle be optimally-sized and in an optimum concentration in order to promote longterm hydrophobicity of the coating.
