Insulator flashovers rarely happen without warning. This article breaks down why traditional wash cycles fall short and how hydrophobic HVIC coatings change surface behavior to reduce leakage currents, extend maintenance intervals, and prevent avoidable outages in high-voltage substations.

Anyone working with transmission lines and substations knows that insulators are a constant headache. Between industrial contamination, saline moisture near the coast, and fine desert dust, surface tracking is a maintenance nightmare that shortens equipment lifespan. Glass, polymer, or porcelain insulators fail far too early in aggressive environments, and crews often end up washing more than they install. This is where Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV Coating Insulation )
