In the electrical industry, the question “Are silicones good electrical insulators?” often arises among buyers and engineers. The answer is a definite YES. Silicone rubber is a high-performance insulating material, known for its excellent dielectric strength, high temperature resistance, and aging resistance. It is widely used in products such as composite insulators, insulating sleeves, and cable accessories in power systems.
Due to its molecular structure containing Si–O bonds, silicone offers exceptional chemical stability and low polarity, effectively preventing electrical leakage and ensuring the safe operation of electrical equipment. It maintains high insulation resistance and low dielectric loss even under humid, polluted, or high-temperature conditions.
