Pacific Gas & Electric Selects Silchem Marketing Silicone Grease
Silchem will initially supply the high dielectric strength product in a 5.3 oz clear tube. Silchem is the only supplier to supply dielectric silicone for high-voltage applications in clear tubes recognizing that it is the only means PG&E line crews and installers have to visually ensure the silicone is clean and free of contamination. A contamination free product is critical in a high voltage cable accessory application preventing future tracking along cable accessory interfaces and the potential failure of the molded rubber connector due to flashover.
