Comparative Study on Injection Molding and Performance of Glass Fiber-Reinforced PET and PA6 Thermoplastic Insulators

In ultra-high-voltage GIS and GIL systems, epoxy resin insulators are still the mainstream choice. However, as a thermosetting material, epoxy resin is difficult to recycle after disposal, which limits its environmental benefits. Thermoplastic insulators, due to their recyclability, are potential alternatives. This study focuses on 30% glass fiber-reinforced PET and PA6 materials. Their injection molding behavior, hydraulic pressure performance, and insulation performance were systematically ana
