A handy six-page Rapid Reference Guide to Electrical Insulating Varnishes and Resins has been produced by Trimite (Plate 1).

The guide details the company's range of impregnating products, overcoatings, speciality compounds, enamels and insulators, with full technical specifications. It also provides information on what resins or varnishes best suit particular insulating applications, for example: heavy duty quarry motors, oil field pump motors, traction motors, high speed rotating equipment, low to high voltage transformers, electronics components and chemical duty motors. In the latter case, a table indicates the most suitable products for use with a wide range of common substances and materials.

A list of "helpful hints" for varnish use is also included, to ensure that the products are applied and stored correctly and therefore operate to maximum efficiency.

The guide also features a table of estimated resin usage, enabling users to work out quantities needed for particular application methods, i.e. "butter", brush-on, pour-on or spray.

The Trimite Rapid Reference Guide to Electrical Insulating Varnishes and Resins is freely available on request from the company.
