Power Products Distributing, Inc.

Welcome to our website!

Power Products Distributing, Inc. was established for the purpose of supplying the electric utility industry with some of the very best products available to help prevent contamination-induced arc tracking and flashover.

The Problem:

Contamination of Electrical Insulators

There are many types of conductive contamination that can pose a problem for your electrical system including, but not limited to:

Salt Spray (Coastal Areas)

Salt from De-icing of Highways

Cooling Tower Fallout

Refineries

Chemical Plants

Mining Operations

Pulp & Paper Mills

Agricultural Fertilizer

Coal Dust

Steel Mills

Carbon Dust

Polution

Fallout of contamination from these sources and others can build up on the surface of insulators and allow for current to track down the insulator surface.

Compounding this issue is the addition of moisture from fog or rain. This can cause the contamination that has been collecting on the insulator surface to go into suspension and run down the insulator, making the electrical current start to track down the Insulator as well. This electrical tracking can reduce the leakage distance built into the insulator to a level that can allow for a flashover to occur. This can trip out the circuit and/or damage expensive equipment.

The Solution!

XIAMETER^® ECE-3650 Sylgard ® High Voltage Insulator Coating

XIAMETER^® ECE-3650 Sylgard ® HVIC is a patented, single component, silicone based coating, from Dow Corning Corporation, a US-based world leader in silicone technology.

This product shows a 100% improvement in wet flashover capabilities, and this technology has been in service for many years. Some applications go back 20+ years.

At Power Products Distributing, Inc., our sales team also has over 20 years experience with insulator coatings and the application process.
