Benefits of Composite Materials in the Electrical Industry
Thermoset composite materials are essential for the electrical industry due to their ability to withstand high-impact, high-temperature environments while offering excellent electrical insulation. Our materials provide numerous advantages: High Strength-to-Weight Ratio Thermoset composites, like G10, offer a tensile strength-to-weight ratio nearly double that of aluminum. This makes them ideal for lightweight, strong components used in a wide variety of electrical applications. Superior Electrical Insulation Materials like Garolite and Vetronite offer excellent electrical insulating properties, ensuring safe operation in high-voltage environments. These materials prevent electrical breakdown, making them ideal for components such as circuit boards, bushings, and other sensitive parts. Corrosion Resistance Thermoset composites resist the corrosive effects of moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure. Unlike metal parts, they maintain their structural integrity and longevity, reducing maintenance and operational costs. UV Resistance Our thermoset composites are highly resistant to UV degradation, making them suitable for outdoor applications or components exposed to prolonged sunlight. Dimensional Stability These materials retain their form, fit, and function in extreme conditions, ensuring reliable performance over long periods, even under harsh environmental stress. Customization Every electrical project has unique needs. Fenhar offers tailored material solutions to meet specific performance requirements, whether it’s strength, electrical insulation, UV resistance, or corrosion protection.
Applications of Thermoset Composites in Electrical Systems
Thermoset composites, including Garolite, Vetronite, Textolite, and Bakelite, are used across a range of critical electrical applications:
Insulating Components Materials like G10 and Textolite are often used to produce insulating parts such as bushings, spacers, and structural support components that need to perform reliably in high-voltage environments and under extreme mechanical and thermal stress.
Circuit Boards Vetronite is used for manufacturing electrical circuit boards, providing both mechanical strength and exceptional insulating performance, even in complex, compact designs.
Electrical Enclosures Bakelite is commonly used to create enclosures that protect sensitive electrical components from environmental factors while maintaining electrical safety.
Transformer Parts Insulating and structural components in transformers rely on Garolite and other thermoset composites to maintain electrical safety and reliability under high-voltage and high-temperature conditions.
