Client Testimonials
The following projects are representative of a cross section of
customers and classification of applications for Siltech 100HV.
Project Background Client Date Description Contact
Marathon Oil State of Illinois, USA
1996 Robinson Substation, 138kV, subjected to heavy dirt and
dust contamination.
Jeff Whithaus +1-618-544-2121 [email protected]
Testimonial Feb 2010 The silicon coating that was applied to our
high voltage insulators has performed
very well. We have experienced no issues with the coating. We
de-energized our incoming services last fall for preventative
maintenance activities & had the opportunity to clean the
insulators for the first time. The coating still appeared to be in
good shape. We are very happy with the insulator coating. P.S. We
will be replacing three of our 138 KV transformer bushings this
Spring/Summer. Would Silchem be available to coat these insulators
prior to them being installed? Jeff Whithaus Project Engineer

Research and Evaluation Laboratory of Siltech 100HV.
Brian M. Peroni +1-561-845-4862 [email protected]
Testimonial Feb 2000 The tests were completed in June of 1997
for the purpose of determining the
effectiveness in preventing high voltage flashovers. The Siltech
100HV passed all tests and was approved for use at Florida Power
& Light Company. Applications using Siltech 100HV started in
December 1997 and we continue to use this product with success.

Bill Herington +1-816-245-3890 [email protected]
Testimonial Mar 2010 In 2001 KCP&L awarded a contract to
Silchem Marketing Inc. to install their Siltech
100HV insulator coating on 161 kV bushings, insulators, coupling
capacitors and lightning arresters located in the switchyard. A
total of 137 insulator surfaces were coated utilizing Siltech
100HV. The Technical Services crew worked in a very professional
and safe manor during the application process following all safety
practices. After a period of close to 10 years since the
application of the Siltech 100HV coating, the coating is performing
well and as expected. We have not detected any visible signs of
degradation of the coating. Siltech 100HV is approved by KCP&L
for insulator coating applications. Silchem Marketing Inc. has
provided us with excellent installation services and product
quality. We recommend them without hesitation. Bill Herrington

2003 Twelve substations with operating voltages ranging from
24.9kV to 138kV, coastal area subjected to heavy contamination from
salt air, fog, and agricultural production. (Letter of

Arthur H. (Holly) Gifford +1-361-575-6491 [email protected]
Testimonial Mar 2010 Within the Gulf Coast area of South Texas
Electric Cooperative, Inc. (STEC)
operating area several substations which are subjected to heavy
contamination from salt air, fog, and agricultural production.
During much of the calendar year sufficient rainfall is absent to
naturally remove these accumulated contaminates. In an effort to
reduce the amount of resources and time required to manually wash
the problematic stations STEC, in 2003 ran a trial by coating
twelve of the most problematic stations using Siltech 100HV RTV
silicone high voltage insulator coating. Since the application of
the coating in 2003 the desired goals have been attained. There
have not been any additional manual washings of these stations and
contaminate caused outages have been minimized. STEC is completely
satisfied with the results achieved by the application of the
Siltech 100HV product and would not hesitate using in the future
for similar applications. Arthur H. (Holly) Gifford Project
Coordinator South Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc.

ServicesSiltech 1OOHV High Voltage Insulator Coating
Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L), a subsidiary of Great
Plains Energy had a section ofswitchyard at the Hawthorn power
plant that was subjected to significant amounts ofcontaminates as a
result of a rebuild of a coal fired unit. The switchyard section we
wereconcerned with connects two 70 Mw gas fired combustion turbines
to the grid.
As part of a preventative maintenance plan it was decided that
the switchyard location would bean excellent site to utilize
Silchem Marketing Inc's Technical Services and their Siltech
100HVRTV insulator coating product.
In 2001 KCP&L awarded a contract to Silchem Marketing Inc.
to install their Siltech 100HVinsulator coating on 161 kV bushings,
insulators, coupling capacitors and lightning arresterslocated in
the switchyard. A total of 137 insulator surfaces were coated
utilizing Siltech 100HV.The Technical Services crew worked in a

following all safety practices.
After a period of close to 10 years since the application of the
Siltech 1OOHV coating, the coatingis performing well and as

thecoating.
Siltech 100HV is approved by KCP&L for insulator coating
applications. Silchem Marketing Inc.has provided us with excellent
installation services and product quality. We recommend themwithout

High Voltage Insulator Coating Within the Gulf Coast area of South
Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. (STEC) operating area several
substations which are subjected to heavy contamination from salt
air, fog, and agricultural production. During much of the calendar
year sufficient rainfall is absent to naturally remove these

resources and time required to manually wash the problematic
stations STEC, in 2003 ran a trial by coating twelve of the most
problematic stations using Siltech 100HV RTV silicone high voltage
insulator coating. The twelve stations were most exclusively
comprised of 69kV, 24.9kV station post and cap & pin
insulators. One of the twelve included a 138kV auto transformer and
associated equipment. The insulator count breakdown by voltage was
approximately; 138kV - 14, 69kV 745, and 24.9kV 1150. The steel
frame work of one station was also coated to appraise the coatings
effectiveness on steel with beginning signs of corrosion. Since the
application of the coating in 2003 the desired goals have been
attained. There have not been any additional manual washings of
these stations and contaminate caused outages have been minimized.
STEC is completely satisfied with the results achieved by the
