The Importance of Chemical Purity in Insulating Oils for Electronic Components
In the specialized world of electronic components, the purity of the materials used is not merely a preference but a critical requirement for ensuring performance and longevity. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. places a strong emphasis on the chemical purity of its products, particularly for dielectric fluids such as Phenyl Xylyl Ethane (PXE) oil, which serves as a vital insulating medium in capacitors and other electrical equipment.
The technical specifications for our PXE insulating oil highlight key indicators of its purity and quality. A low acid number, for instance, is crucial. The acid number measures the amount of free acid present in the oil, typically expressed in mg KOH/g. A low acid number, such as ≤0.015 mg KOH/g for our PXE oil, indicates that the oil is free from acidic contaminants that could potentially corrode metal components within the capacitor or degrade the dielectric materials over time. This purity is essential for maintaining the long-term stability and reliability of the capacitor.
Another critical purity parameter is the water content. Moisture in insulating oils can significantly reduce their dielectric strength and increase the dielectric loss factor, compromising the capacitor's ability to function effectively and increasing the risk of electrical breakdown. Our PXE oil is supplied with a very low water content, typically ≤50 mg/kg. This low moisture level ensures that the insulating properties of the oil are maintained at their optimal level, even under varying environmental conditions. This meticulous attention to detail is what differentiates a high-quality capacitor impregnating agent from standard fluids.
When manufacturers choose to buy insulating oil for sensitive electronic applications, they are investing in the reliability of their final product. The high standards of chemical purity maintained by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. for our phenyl xylyl ethane insulating oil, including adherence to stringent acid number and water content limits, directly contribute to the enhanced performance and extended lifespan of capacitors and other electrical components. This commitment to purity is a cornerstone of our product philosophy.
