ELECTRIC INSULATION COATING
INSULECT SK-03 High Voltage Electric Insulation Coating
One Pack coating system designed for High Voltage Insulation applications..

DESCRIPTION
INSULECT SK-03 is a single component electric insulation coating designed to
impart high electric strength for various electrical applications. When properly
applied and dried, a tough film is formed over the surface. INSULECT SK-03 is
highly hydrophobic in nature and is having excellent water repellant properties.
INSULECT SK-03 film helps to reduce the leakage currents, resulting into
reduction in contamination flashovers.
INSULECT SK-03 coating offers excellent U.V. radiation resistance coupled with
tracking resistance which makes its use beneficial for outdoor exposure and in
extreme weather conditions.
Once coated with INSULECT SK-03, the applied part does not require any
maintenance like water washing or greasing.
INSULECT SK-03 is based on Grafted Copolymer System and is available in all
desired colour shades

FEATURES OF INSULECT SK-03

Single pack ready to use systems.
Quick drying of Room Temperature ( 15 minutes Touch Dry)
Electric strength 55 Kv/mm. ( 2.5 KV at 40 microns DFT)
Stable up to 180 0 C
Flame retardant
Excellent resistance to UV radiation (suitable for outdoor Exposure).
Excellent resistance to transformer oil.
Tough and Scratch resistant (excellent puncture resistant),
Resistance to acids, alkalis, chemicals and saline atmosphere.

Advantages
Can be applied with conventional brush, dip and spray techniques.
Can be applied on surface of any geometry such as bend bus-bars, twisted
bus-bars, etc,
Can be applied on all metals, aluminum, brass, copper, MS, ceramic,
porcelain etc,
Convenient application (does not require skill man power).
Fast Process ( Quick Drying at Room temp.)

APPLICATIONS
On Bus bars in control panels and Feeder pillars.
On porcelain and composite insulators where improved surface dielectric
properties are needed.
On line and station insulators, as well as bushings, instrument transformers
and related devices.
On pole joints to avoid Bird Faults.
Other applications requiring Arc / Track Resistance.
On damaged insulators to retain electric strength and megger value
To minimise electrical losses due to corrona effect.
On electrical equipments, poles and exposed cables to prevent accidental
deaths of birds, animals & human beings.
On distribution grid to enhance safety.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE- BUSBARS

1 Clean the surface to make it free from dust, rust, oil, grease and any other
foreign deposits with suitable cleaning procedures.

2 Put masking tape on the areas where coating is not required.

3 Apply first coat of INSULECT SK-03 with conventional spray or brush
technique uniformly over the entire surface.
4 Allow it to dry for 15 to 20 minutes.
5 Apply next coat uniformly over the entire surface.
6 Repeat the procedure for next coats to achieve desired insulation
level.
7 Place Butter paper between the coated bus bars during storage.
8 Send coated bus bars for tinning after 24 hrs. of application.

Expected Performance - 5 KV at 80 microns (DFT)

Recommended Tools
For Spray Technique - HVLP Gun (High Volume Low Pressure)
For Brush Technique - Soft , Art Type , Animal Hair Brush

Note
For removal of applied coat of INSULECT, use specific thinner supplied by
the company.

Test the performance only after 48 hrs of application.
