Guroflex Resin For Low & Medium Voltage Cable Joints
Description
GUROFLEX LVGUROFLEX is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-hazardous casting material for 1kV cable joints. It's easy to handle (no special protective measures are required to handle it) and is a cold casting material based on hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon resins are generally known for their low water absorption, excellent electrical insulation properties and high elasticity over a wide temperature range without splitting and cracking. Due to its elasticity, it is well-suited to accommodate thermal expansion of insulated cables, thereby preventing tears, breaks and cracks that could permit water ingress. It is an excellent insulating material with water-repellent properties. It covers and adheres to metal components and protects them from corrosion. GUROFLEX is prepared immediately before casting. The two components are mixed together in a double chamber bag and then the cross-linking process starts. Compared with other resin types, GUROFLEX is easy to process and generates no heat during curing. Furthermore, GUROFLEX is resistant to low temperatures as low as -20°C. Processing is possible at temperatures as low as -10°C. GUROFLEX is suited for use in all cable joint systems with robust closures up to 1kV. It is qualified according to CENELEC HD 623. It is suitable for filled XLPE, PE, PVC and paper-insulated cables. | GUROFLEX MVTE Connectivity’s (TE) GUROFLEX MV is a two-component cold-pour insulating compound. After mixing and pouring it cures to a soft rubbery solid that will not melt or flow. It has excellent electrical characteristics and is suitable for a wide range of bulk insulation applications in medium voltage electrical power equipment. Because GUROFLEX MV is a cold pour material there are none of the serious hazards associated with the heating and pouring of conventional bitumen or oil-based insulating compounds. One of the outstanding advantages of its chemical make-up is that GUROFLEX MV is nonhazardous and does not contribute to environmental problems. The liquid components are not subject to any safety classification. The principal application for GUROFLEX MV is as a filling compound for cable termination boxes and bus bar enclosures associated with transformers, switchgear and motors. It is the ideal solution for non-air-clearance cable boxes where the phase metalwork cannot be satisfactorily insulated with heat-shrink components or other applied insulation. The curing reaction of GUROFLEX MV is insensitive to temperature, making it feasible to mix and pour the compound in very cold or hot ambient conditions. The cured compound can be cut out of the enclosure if connections have to be changed at a later date. No heat is required. |
