Disposal
The constituent parts of the bushing are non-toxic, not self-inflammable and not physically
burdening. They can be disposed of as industrial waste.
10.1
Constituent parts of the bushing
The bushing contains:
● Conductor bolt: Cu-ETP or Cu-HCP
● Insulating body: Epoxy-resin impregnated synthetic fleece with aluminum foils
● Armatures: made from aluminum alloys, copper alloys, brass or stainless steel, depending
on the version
● Flanges: made from aluminum alloys, brass or stainless steel, depending on the version
● Central tube: Aluminum alloys
● Fixing materials, test tab, screw etc.: Stainless steel, aluminum alloys and brass
● Polyurethane-elastomer (dry filling)
○ If the dry filling contains SF

must be burnt
without residue at min. 1200°C, in accordance with
CIGRE: SF

Recycling Guide
.
Silicone bushings
● Seals: Silicone elastomer
The insulating body is rigidly connected to the composite insulator via the dry
filling. It is best to split the bushing into several parts for easy and improved
disposal.
