BCP-1034 | Medium voltage Busbar Coating Powder


Main features
  • Designed for electric busbars, fuel pipes, tubes, fittings
  • 80 kv/mm insulation
  • Thermoplastic

Product Description

Linqsol BCP-1034 is a thermoplastic coating powder capable of achieving a breakdown voltage of up to 80 kV/mm. It is a semi-crystalline powder that exhibits excellent fluidized bed characteristics, and due to its fluidization and low density is ideal for dip-coating applications.

A distinctive feature of Linqsol BCP-1034 is that it has a virtually infinite shelf life when stored at room temperature since cross-linking is not necessary for coating. It is very easy to apply, environmentally friendly, and great for applications where low coefficient of friction and good abrasion resistance are required.

This thermoplastic is used in technical and functional applications,  but due to its smooth coating also has decorative applications. It is specifically developed for metal parts and accessories, like electric busbars, fuel pipes, tubes, fittings, etc. Since the BCP-1034 is reworkable, damages can be repaired with ease.

Shelf Life
Shelf Life
Shelf life is the amount of time after manufacturing that a product is guaranteed to retain its properties.

It differs vastly per product and it is based on temperature and storage conditions.

The properties can be guaranteed for the temperature and time range indicated on the TDS since those are the ones tested to be the best for the product.
Shelf Life @ 25°C infinite days

Electrical Properties
Breakdown Voltage
Breakdown Voltage
Breakdown voltage is the minimum voltage necessary to force an insulator to conduct some amount of electricity.
It is the point at which a material ceases to be an insulator and becomes a resistor that  conducts electricity at some proportion of the total current. 

After dielectric breakdown, the material may or may not behave as an insulator any more because of the molecular structure alteration. The current flow tend to create a localised puncture that totally alters the dielectric properties of the material.

This electrical property is thickness dependent and is the maximum amount of voltage that a dielectric material can withstand before breaking down. The breakdown voltage is calculated by multiplying the dielectric strength of the material times the thickness of the film.

Hardness
Hardness is a dimensionless quantity. There is no direct relationship between measurements in one scale and their equivalent in another scale or another hardness test.

UL 94 Rating
UL 94 Rating
Flammability rating classification.
It determines how fast a material burns or extinguishes once it is ignited.

HB: slow burning on a horizontal specimen; burning rate less than 76 mm/min for thickness less than 3 mm or burning stops before 100 mm
V-2: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of flaming particles are allowed.
V-1: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
V-0: burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
5VB: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may develop a hole.
5VA: burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not develop a hole
