Plastics for high-voltage direct current transmissions (HVDC)
Converters for high-voltage direct current transmission have a planned operating time of 40 to 50 years. For high operating safety, constructors need reliable materials with outstanding properties. Our plastics are suitable for this. They combine high dielectrical and mechanical strength with a low moisture intake, are flame-retardant and have a high creep resistance depending on material. Use our materials to construct high-performance and reliable high-voltage direct current transmission systems.
Your advantages
- High operating safety
- Long-lived thanks to dielectrical and mechanical strengths
- Low moisture intake
- High creep resilience
- High safety thanks to flame-retardant properties
Typical areas of application
- Mechanical tensioning of thyristors/IGBTs
- Resistance carriers
- Capacitor carriers
- Insulation rods
- Housings/frames
