3. Environmental and Weather Resistance
- It has excellent weather resistance and can adapt to a wide temperature range of -40℃ to +90℃. The elasticity and insulation properties of the rubber do not decrease under high and low temperatures, and there is no risk of cracking, embrittlement or deformation. It is suitable for various indoor and outdoor scenarios.
- It is resistant to aging, ultraviolet rays, and ozone corrosion, with a service life of over 20 years. It requires no maintenance and reduces subsequent operation and maintenance costs.
- It is resistant to chemical corrosion and can adapt to harsh environments such as humidity, dust, salt spray, and mild acid and alkali. It has no risk of corrosion or degradation and is suitable for industrial and mining enterprises, coastal areas and other scenarios.
4. Mechanical and Safety Characteristics
- Rubber materials have high mechanical strength, are tear-resistant and tensile-resistant, and can withstand mechanical stress during construction and operation without the risk of breakage or cracking.
- It features anti-misoperation and anti-electric shock designs, automatically grounds after installation, and has a touchable surface, ensuring high safety and making it suitable for power distribution scenarios where personnel frequently come into contact with it.
- With its compact structure and small size, it is suitable for installation in confined spaces and has no installation space limitations.
