Product Overview

MOLYKOTE® 3099 HVIC (high-voltage insulator coating) Compound is a high-performance, greaselike compound engineered for long-term protection of electrical insulators and contacts.  It exhibits excellent resistance to water and UV light exposure, where conventional silicone products may degrade and fail. MOLYKOTE® 3099 HVIC Compound is engineered to resist arcing and significantly outperforms traditional compound chemistries when exposed to surface arcs.

Applications

MOLYKOTE® 3099 HVIC Compound provides exceptional long-term electrical resistance and protection in a wide range of electrical insulator and connector applications.

Prior to applying MOLYKOTE® 3099 Compound, it is advised to clean the insulator surface, and all traces of organics or cleaning materials must be removed for best results. It is recommended to apply MOLYKOTE® 3099 HVIC Compound in a layer between 1/16” and 1/8” thick and can be applied via airless sprayer, cloth pad, bristle brush, or by hand.
