Dow Corning 3099 HVIC has been undergoing trials as a replacement for Dow Corning 5 at Rain Calcining Limited since 2004. Despite layers of contamination from dust and other pollutants, Dow Corning 5 has proven effective at preventing flashovers, with an average life of 18 months before recoating. Dow Corning 3099 is expected to last over 36 months with one application, preventing tracking and flashovers even with surface contamination rendered hydrophobic. The document promotes Dow Corning 3099 for its unique fillers that suppress arcs and resist UV degradation, allowing easy visual inspection during application.

3. Despite a complete layer of contamination consisting of Calcining dust from
RCL’s own plant and other industrial pollutants from nearby Hygrade, CFL,
and the sea just a mile away, Dow Corning 5 Compound has proved itself to be a
reliable combat against pollution induced flashover. The average life before
recoating is now 18 months.

4. Dow Corning 3099, under trial for over a
year now is expected to perform (prevent
tracking and flashover by continuing to
have a hydrophobic surface despite layers
of contamination on its surface which
have been rendered hydrophobic by its
unique pdms fluids) for over 36 months
with one application.
DC 3099 formulated with unique ATH
fillers that goes into many Dow Corning
high voltage rubber compounds and
HVIC coatings, suppresses arc, corona
and is resistant to UV degradation. Soft,
easy to spread grayish white material
enable easy visual inspection of covered
area during application.
