Material solutions
Choose a solution for the operating problem you need to address.
Eleven focused solution areas connect equipment risks with relevant products, application scenarios, project records and evidence.
Choose your need
Choose the closest operating problem.
If the requirement crosses more than one area, send the equipment and operating condition for a combined review.
Pollution Flashover Control
Reduce continuous water films on polluted ceramic and glass insulation with a compatible surface treatment.
- Polluted insulation that becomes wet
- Continuous water films on ceramic or glass
- Surface preparation, application and inspection
Enclosure Condensation Control
Address moisture films on cabinet interiors and insulating parts exposed to temperature and humidity cycles.
