Innovative alternative to porcelain offers cost, time savings

Milford, N.H. - Hendrix Wire & Cable, a premier provider of high quality overhead and underground power distribution products, announces its offering of HPI Polyethylene Insulators available in 15kV, 25kV and 35kV. The lightweight design allows for easier handling and storage.

Suited for both bare wire and covered conductors, Hendrix HPI Polyethylene Insulators offer an alternative solution to porcelain insulators, which are susceptible to vandalism and can be problematic when paired with covered overhead conductors. Impervious to impact damage and breakage, HPI Polyethylene Insulators offer longer leakage distance and higher impulse strength. Additionally, every HPI Polyethylene Insulator easily withstands ultraviolet rays and offers greater track resistance due to the proprietary high-density polyethylene material.

With the ability to resist wear and tear including chipping, cracking or breaking, Hendrix HPI Polyethylene Insulators have an increased lifespan over competitor's products. Additionally, the insulators accept any conductor or tie and can be used interchangeably with porcelain insulators.

The Hendrix Molded Products division has been offering innovative product solutions to a multitude of industries for over 40 years. For more information about the Polyethylene Insulators and other products and service solutions from Hendrix, please visit www.hendrix-wc.com.
