Description
50VT is an electrical insulating
impregnating resin provided with a special
filler structure consisting of a premixed
resin and hardener component. It is noted
for its good compatibility with punching
grease and very good hiding power, e.g.
on choke housings. An unsaturated
polyesterimide is used as base resin,
which displays very good thermal load
capacities in the cured state. Since base
resins are frequently solid or very highly
viscous, they are dissolved in a reactive
monomer. In this case VinylTolune is used
as reactive monomer, which reacts on
account of its reactive double linkage with
the resultant cured material. propertiesThe
material does not contain by recipe
substances listed in Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
(2002/95/EC)
Areas of Application
50 VT is preferably used for impregnation
of static device such as transformers,
chokes etc.
Properties of cured material
50VT gives natural glossy finish cured
film. The cured film is tough hard material
with good mechanical and dielectric
properties. 50VT gives necessary strength
to coils and stacks of sheets. By virtue of
the special structure of the filler, very good
heat dissipation from the impregnated
winding is achieved. In addition, the cured
material displays good resistance to
solvents and their vapours, oil and other
chemicals. Due to the high temperature
index of 180, 50VTcan be used for
components of thermal class H (1800C).
The good thermal load capacity ensures
reliable operation of the ballast.
Application Method
50VT can be processed in all conventional
impregnating resin plants, for example by
dipping / flooding / VPI etc. Processing
50VT Page 2 of 4
under vacuum or by the vacuum pressure
method is advisable because of the special
filler structure. Losses of Vinyl Tolune,
which occur as a result of vacuum
impregnation, should be replaced from
time to time to ensure a uniform viscosity.
With a resin throughput of > 12% per
week, 50VTcan be processed practically
without restriction at 250C. Since the
activated resin is a highly reactive system,
the temperature of the resin in the storage
or mixing containers of the impregnating
plant should not exceed 250C. Before the
beginning of relatively long rest periods it is
advantageous to cool down the resin in the
impregnating plant to 10-200C. The resin is
to be protected from light during
processing and storage
Recommended Storage
The resin should be stored at a
temperature not exceeding 25°C in original
sealed container. At this temperature, the
resins will remain good for 3 to 6 months.
At higher storage temperature, the storage
life would decrease sharply. The resin and
hardener container should not be exposed
to sunlight to avoid premature gelation.
During storage in godown or in the tank if
reduction in gel time is observed then
required quantity of Inhibitor UP1 should
be incorporated in the activated resin. For
further details refer technical data sheet of
Inhibitor UP1
