Contracting - High Voltage Insulator Coating (HVIC)

HVIC

One-part silicone RTV coating for high voltage reliability

High Voltage Insulator Coating (HVIC) is a one-part silicone RTV coating designed to protect high voltage insulators and equipment from surface contamination caused by airborne pollution, leakage current, and flashover. These issues can affect the reliability of transmission lines and substations.

S3C has been providing HVIC services since 2000. Our coating work meets all relevant international standards & local utility standards, including IEC, IEEE, CIGRÉ, and SEC. Additionally, our RTV stock facilitates material supply and service to customers in the GCC and surrounding regions quickly and efficiently throughout the year.
