Silicone Composite Insulators

---

Deccan Enterprises Limited manufactures Decosil range of Composite Silicon Insulators. These are designed and manufactured to operate under the most severe conditions by understanding the dynamic processes of hydrophobicity, the proper basic formulation of the silicone including fillers and additives as well as the processing technology and the "defense mechanisms" of silicone rubber against ageing bulk erosion tracking.

Composite silicone insulators have the following special properties:

• Full hydrophobicity over the lifetime of the insulator by high hydrophobicity resistance and fast regeneration
• Fast transfer of hydrophobic properties into the pollution layer
• High tracking resistance by formulation and filler characteristics to balance mechanical values and tracking performance respectively
• The properties given above lead to excellent insulation behaviour without the need to grease, hence low operation and maintenance cost.

Advantages:

• Excellent hydrophobicity
• Lower leakage current
• Light weight - 90% lighter than porcelain insulators, but offer an equal to better strength
• Resistance to breakages; safety against vandalism & shatter proof
• Compact design
• Aesthetics
• Safety

Deccan Enterprises Limited was established in 1966 and has over 40 years experience in manufacture and supply of various products in India and across the world. The ISO 9001 certified company is one of the pioneers in India to develop and manufacture long rod silicone composite insulators for transmission and distribution lines ranging from 11 kV to 400 kV and 25 kV for Railways OHT.
