REPORT DESCRIPTION
Electrical insulation is a form of material in which internally present electric charges do not flow freely . This makes it impossible for electric current to be conducted under the influence of an electric field . The main difference between electric insulation and semiconductors and conductors is that the former possesses higher resistivity , while the latter carry current with more ease . A substance is an insulator or a conductor is normally depends on the number of free electrons it possesses , which can be used to carry electric current .
An important characteristic of insulating material is its ability to withstand electric stress which is known as dielectric strength . This strength is quoted in kilovolts per millimeter ( Kv / mm ). Previously , ceramics and glass were the most prominently used electrical insulation material . At present , polymer-based electrical insulation contributes a significant share in the global electrical insulation material market .

Based on type electric insulation is classified as glass , ceramics , thermoplastic and epoxy resin . Electrical insulation material is used in various applications such as cables & transmission lines , power systems , electronic systems , domestic portable appliances , and others . Based on end-use industry , the electrical insulation market can be divided into manufacturing , transportation , infrastructure , and others . Modernization of electricity networks , increasing usage of electric appliances , and demand from the increasing population are factors contributing to the expansion of the electrical insulation market .
Consumption of thermoplastic electrical insulation is estimated to increase at a relatively speedy rate during the forecast period . These materials are lightweight , possess high mechanical and electric strength , and also deliver consistent performance in harsh climatic conditions . Thermoplastic electrical insulation also exhibit excellent voltage endurance compared to that of ceramics and a few other materials which makes them the preferred electrical insulation type across all regions .
