This study aims to evaluate the hydrophobicity of vulcanized silicone rubber coatings at room temperature (RTV SR) with loads of alumina trihydrate (ATH) and nanosilica (NS) in the polymeric silicone rubber matrix, in order to obtain coatings ATH/NS/RTV SR to cover the surface of glass electrical insulators. The coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), testing in salt spray chamber, loss test and recovery of hydrophobicity. These coatings showed varying sizes of agglomerates and heterogeneous distribution of particles within the matrix RTV SR. In the test in salt spray chamber smaller leakage current values was observed for the insulator coating with the ATH/NS loads. In the loss and recovery of the hydrophobicity test the best result was observed for insulating load RTV SR / 20: 1 (ATH: NS).

The Super-hydrophobic surface can be obtained easily by pollution accumulation on room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber coating surface. The photos taken by digital camera show that the amount of pollution on the RTV coating surface was increased with time, and after one year, the RTV coating surface nearly could hardly be seen. The water state contact angle (CA) measurement, which was investigated by the static contact angle instrument, reveals that the CA value of RTV coating surface is increased with increasing the pollution accumulation, and in suitable amount of pollution accumulation, the super-hydrophobic surface (water contact angle of 152o and roll-off angle smaller than 5 o) was obtained. The scanning electric microscope (SEM) of RTV coating with different pollution accumulation was investigated. It shows that the continuous micro-nanobinary structure can be formed with enough dust particles on the RTV surface. The mechanism of the effect of pollution accumulation on the wetting property was analyzed, the migration of hydrophobic molecular in RTV coating onto the pollution surface and the formation of micro-nanobinary structure on the RTV coating surface have synergistic effect on the super-hydrophobic surface formation caused by the pollution accumulation.
