Experiences with new hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy outdoor insulation systems

Cycloaliphatic epoxy resins (CEP) have been used successfully alongside silicones and ceramics (porcelain, glass) for more than 30 years as insulation materials for outdoor applications. The authors discuss a new generation of cycloaliphatic epoxy systems with enhanced hydrophobic properties, hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy (HCEP).
