Arkema at ELECRAMA 2010

12/11/2009    Press Release

Arkema will participate as speaker at ELECRAMA 2010 exhibition, one of the largest international conference platforms of Global Electrical Community, from 18th to 24th January in Mumbai. Arkema will present two publications in two seminars: its antigazing additives for transformers at TRAFOTECH (18th and 19th) and the technical and economical advantages of JARYLEC C101 for HV Capacitors over PXE and PEPE at CAPACIT 2010 (20th and 21st).

At TRAFOTECH seminar, dedicated to Transformers industry, Arkema will present for the first time the performances of its antigazing additives JARYLEC GA and JARYLEC T, developed to offer a solution for transformers suffering from high gazing tendency and for distribution transformers.

The quality of nowadays mineral oils has changed significantly to meet health and environment requirements and to improve the corrosive sulphur problem within transformers. Thus, mineral oils are today highly refined and natural aromatics and others unsaturated compounds are partially or completely hydrogenated. Such mineral oils are gas evolving and unable to absorb any more gas caused by partial discharges. Today, Arkema offers a real industrial solution to reduce gassing tendency of such dielectric fluids with Jarylec GA and T as complement to mineral oils. JARYLEC GA and T would also contribute to a higher electric strength and a better resistance to oxidation and therefore much better performances of the transformer. JARYLEC GA and T will also contribute strongly to the maintenance cost reduction of gassing transformers
 

At CAPACIT seminar, dedicated to HV Capacitor industry, Arkema will demonstrate the economical and technical added value of JARYLEC C101 for High Voltage Capacitors, based on the high stress resistance of its molecular structure and of the outstanding ageing test results got thanks to its epoxide additive. Compared to more basic synthetic oils with aliphatic links, such as PXE or PEPE, JARYLEC C101 aromatic structure presents a higher electrical strength and enables to build Capacitors with higher performances and smaller size, leading to a 40% economy in capacitor cost manufacturing.
