Pantograph coatings are specialized dielectric (non-conductive) coatings applied to pantograph arms and assemblies in electric rail systems to prevent electrical leakage, arcing, and flashovers between the live overhead contact wire (OCW).
These Pantograph coatings are critical for safe operation of electric locomotives, EMUs and metro trains.
INSULECT SK-03 is an ideal Pantograph coating which forms a dielectric barrier on metal parts (arms, frame, joints), preventing conduction and ensuring tracking resistance.
Its unique formulation enhances the pantograph's durability, longevity, and performance under harsh conditions and protects from wear and tear.
