Hydrophobic Araldite® systems combine hydrophobic properties with the traditional strenghts of epoxy materials. Advanced hydrophobic properties such as intrinsic hydro-phobicity, hydrophobicity transfer and recovery ensure
better product reliability in the most demanding environ-
ments, such as tropical cliimates, shore or mining areas.

Hydrophobic Araldite® systems reduce discharge activitiy, leading to less erosion and improved life expectancy.  Reduced leakage currents and lower flash-over probability result in enhanced product reliability.

Lab studies and our customers' field experiences underline the excellent product performance:

• salt fog studies (IEC 61109)
• wheel tests (IEC 61302)
• EDF approval test (EN26E20)
• customer field test: reclosers pass -80°C without any cracks

Hydrophobic Araldite® systems are used for outdoor insulators, bushings, switchgear parts, and instrument transformers. Download our product brochure to read more.
