- Applications
Designed for use as a dielectric compound on high voltage insulators, NovagardG687 reduces the opportunity for dirt and moisture to create arcing across the insulator. NovagardG687 prevents the formation of a conducting film of water thereby eliminating any arcover under wet conditions. The silicone engulfs and encapsulates any water-borne, hydrophilic particles so that the insulator remains water repellant even in dusty, highly conductive atmospheres. NovagardG687 is also an excellent mold release and rubber lubricant. The compound may be applied by wiping, brushing, or by spraying.
- Restrictions
Do not use in or around highly oxidative chemicals such as liquid oxygen or peroxides.
