We have always had a very good reputation for product design, quality and competitive pricing, while being able to guarantee the quality and durability of the Composite Suspension insulator for electrified railway, 138kV Composite Deadend Insulators, post top insulators . We leverage the latest technologies and innovations to deliver high-quality products and services. We use innovative thinking, high technology and high standards to create industry excellence. Our corporate culture is to actively advocate mutual cooperation and close collaboration between all units, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and between all departments!
Composite polymer insulators are made of high-quality silicone rubber housing and sheds, providing excellent resistance to tracking, erosion, and harsh environmental conditions. The core rod is manufactured from epoxy fiberglass, delivering superior mechanical performance - with up to 1.5 times the expansion strength of ordinary steel and 3–4 times the tensile strength of porcelain. This ensures outstanding axial tension capability, vibration absorption, and superior seismic performance.
These composite suspension and tension insulators are widely used on overhead transmission lines to provide reliable mechanical support and electrical insulation. Compared with traditional porcelain and glass insulators, composite insulators offer better hydrophobicity and pollution resistance, effectively preventing flashover in contaminated or coastal areas.
