ELECTRICAL INSULATION COATINGS
There are 2 types of insulation coating namely primary & secondary insulation
Primary Insulation coating
Electrical devices such as motors, generators, and transformers function based on electromagnetic induction. The rotational or linear movement of such electrical rotary equipment is caused by electromagnetic fields, generated by electrical coils, and their mutual repulsion forces. The wire enamel is applied to the metal wire concentrically in several coating operations in a thermal coating process, so-called enamelling process. The wire enamel is a varnish and consists of organic components (prepolymers) that react to cross-linked polymers during the baking and thus form an impermeable insulation layer or electrical coating.
Secondary Insulation
The best stability under all operating conditions is achieved by electrical rotary equipment (motors and generators) and static electrical equipment (transformers and sensors) if all the air trapped inside the wire windings is replaced with insulation material. This stage of the value-added chain is known as impregnation or secondary insulation. This commonly thermal impregnating process, i.e. chemical process under the action of heat, also increases the mechanical stability of the electrical winding and protects the enamelled wire during operation from environmental influences such as moisture. This impregnation can entail a trickling of the wire winding, a dip or dip-and-roll process. Today impregnation is increasingly carried out through the vacuum method to eliminate any air that might be trapped (VPI process). Trapped air bubbles reduce heat dissipation, since air is an excellent heat insulator, or they give rise to disruptive electrical charges in high-voltage applications, which can destroy the insulation. Besides, UV light curing might be employed, which creates very highly cross-linked, and thus impermeable, impregnating layers. The impregnating resin or varnish (impregnating material generally) consists of organic components (prepolymers) that react to cross-linked polymers during the curing process and thus form a further electrical insulation layer added to the wire enamel.
The following different impregnating resins exist
Unsaturated polyester resins (UPs) with styrene or vinyl toluene as a reactive thinner UP without volatile organic substances (Monomer free so-called MF resins) Epoxy resins Water-based adhesives Alkyd resins with an organic solvent or water-based. Where transformers for electrical power transmission are concerned, by impregnating resins (dry transformers), or insulation fluids (wet transformers) are used.

Electronic & Engineering Materials
The primary and secondary insulation completes the basic insulation of electrical equipment. For a range of electrical equipments as sensors, instrument transformers, induction systems, and printed wiring boards, additional properties are desired such as improved heat dissipation, much greater mechanical stability at high vibrational forces, noise reduction, and often the complete exclusion of environmental influences.
These properties are obtained by embedding or completely encapsulating or coating with an insulating material – in blends with other materials also called compound. Depending on whether – in what is usually a thermally based casting process, i.e. a chemical process under the action of heat – the mold is removed after casting or becomes a permanent element of the cast part, the process is referred to as casting insulation or potting insulation respectively.
In many cases the casting process is carried out under a vacuum to prevent air pockets. Trapped air bubbles reduce heat dissipation, since air is a good heat insulator, or they give rise to disruptive electrical charges in high-voltage applications, which can destroy the insulation. If the part being cast is fully coated with an insulating material, the process is called encapsulation.
With electronic components, especially printed wiring boards (PWBs), thin layers are applied to protect them from harmful environmental influences. In these cases the process is known as “conformal coating”.
For construction materials (engineering materials) or engineering workpieces, resins or resin-based compounds are used for electrical and non-electrical applications. For further improved heat dissipation or mechanical stability, the resin is enriched with inorganic fillers. The insulating material or construction material consists of organic components (prepolymers) that react to cross-linked polymers during the curing process.
