It’s how we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. So as we reflect on the past year—and more importantly, as we look to the future—we do so with a great sense of pride and optimism. Composites and additives are delivering today, and we expect they will continue to grow well into the future.

These materials are typically transparent, with good impact strength, a glossy surface finish, and less warpage than semi-crystalline materials. The impact strength, surface finish and warpage are not inherently good.

The material adds value to this insulation in myriad ways: • Good flame retardancy with low smoke, toxicity & corrosiveness • Excellent mechanical properties • Good surface smoothness • Ambient moisture curing with good Hot Set Test • Very good electrical properties Manufacturing of cable insulation with ECCOH XL 8001 is done using silane chemical crosslinking.

Performance advantages: • Non-conductive: formulations engineered to optimize composite dielectric properties • Lightweight: up to 80% lighter than porcelain, reducing installation time and cost • High strength: high tensile, compressive, flexural and inter-laminar shear strength to support various design configurations and line loads • Flexible: deflect and return to original shape for load dampening to minimize damages and outages • Durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic and glass, and UV and corrosion resistant for long service life INSULATORS AND ARRESTERS OVERHEAD SWITCH RODS CROSSARMS AND BRACES COMPOSITE POLES GUY INSULATORS Electrical Transmission & Distribution Applications  COMPONENT DESCRIPTION SIZES Insulators for transmission and distribution Suspension insulators Epoxy/corrosion resistant glass rods .625" to 1.25" diameter Line post and station post insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 4.74" diameter Arresters Cage type Polyester or vinyl ester/glass fiber rods .125" to .50" diameter Custom tubular Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy/ glass fiber custom shapes 2.0" to 6.0" envelope size Pole line construction Conductor standoff and equipment support arms Polyester/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 2.00" diameter Guy strain insulators Polyester/glass fiber rods 0.50" to .812" diameter Cross arms Tangent and deadend, support braces Polyester/glass fiber rectangular tubes 3.62" x 4.62" and 4.0" x 6.0" rectangular Utility poles Composite poles Polyester/glass fiber hollow custom tubes 10" to 14" diameter, typical lengths 40' to 110' Pole line construction, cross arms, rods, and utility poles feature an integral fabric surfacing veil for long-term weather resistance and retention of properties.

Thread pulls; blow line jams ColorMatrix™ EZE™ Slip Agent Process aid to reduce surface friction, allowing for higher levels of rPET to be used.
