A novel self-healing anti-algae RTV coating for external insulation surfaces

Due to the humid environment, the external insulation surface of some outdoor equipment is easy to grow algae, and it grows again after removal, which affects the safe of the equipment. In this paper, a self-healing anti-algae RTV coating suitable for external insulation of power equipment was prepared. The coating has excellent anti-algae properties because of the effect of slow release of anti-algae agent and self-healing of microcracks, which can inhibit the adhesion of algae on the surface. At the same time, it also has the dielectric, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of conventional RTV coatings.
