    RTV Coatings on Ceramic Insulators


    Insulators, Silicone & Other Materials

    Different types of insulators with hydrophobic properties have now become commercially
    available, including composite insulators, hybrid insulators and silicone greased ceramic
    insulators. One variant of rapidly growing interest and application worldwide involves coated
    insulators obtained by applying a uniform thin layer of Room Temperature Vulcanizing silicone
    rubber material along a ceramic insulator’s surface. Coated ceramic insulators offer the advantage
    of a surface with the desirable characteristics of a hydrophobicity transfer material to provide
    improved withstand voltage capability under pollution coupled with the known mechanical
    robustness and strength of the underlying ceramic.

    RTV silicone is a liquid polymer that vulcanizes when exposed to moisture in air. By all accounts,
    there can be considerable variation in the electrical and physical properties of different
    commercially available coatings. Such variations depend on factors including but not limited to the
    relative amounts of reinforcing fillers in the coating, curing components that affect the degree of
    cross-linkage in the polymer and primers for improving adhesion to the insulator surface. Optimal
    coating thickness can be yet another variable among different suppliers.

    Infrared spectroscopy.

    Silicone polymers and moulded components made with silicone elastomers exhibit low surface
    energy that does not allow water to spread out over the surface. These elastomeric formulations
    contain a small but not negligible amount of low molecular weight siloxane chains that continually
    migrate to the surface – a phenomenon that not only promotes sustained hydrophobicity even in
    presence of pollution but that also encapsulates the pollution layer. RTV coatings can be used on
    both station insulators and line insulators and can be applied to an insulator either wholly or
    partially using spraying or dipping.

    Most early applications of RTV silicone coatings were conducted on-site as a remedial measure to
    mitigate pollution flashovers on insulators and bushings that demonstrated poor service
    performance. On-site coating, whether manual or robotized, is still is the most commonly used
    practice for station insulators. However, in the case of line insulators coating application in situ can
    be challenging due to challenging working conditions and because of the difficulty in applying the
    coating evenly. As a result, there has been growing interest to adopt factory pre-coated cap & pin
    string insulators as one of the possible solutions adopted during the design phase of a new line
    project.

    Attend the 2022 INMR WORLD CONGRESS to hear T&D expert, Alberto Pigini, present a report
    dealing with latest developments pertaining to RTV coated outdoor insulators, as outlined in the
    first CIGRE Brochure prepared by WG B2.69, 2021. He will also emphasize open points deserving
    additional investigation.
