Power Generation
Supplying Power Generation OEMs & Field Service Repair with Critical Path Materials for over 60 years
With a track record of over 60 years of successful use in large scale electricity generation, Astro has become the trusted name in generator assembly materials. From high temperature, thermally conductive potting compounds and adhesives to coatings for static dissipation, dielectric insulation and corona protection, we offer the most comprehensive product offering in generator manufacture and repair.
Today our innovative materials continue to meet the emerging needs of the industry, allowing design engineers to push the limits in thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance to build more efficient, cost-competitive equipment for utility-scale power generation.
Our products are designed to tackle the harshest challenges in generator design:Â
- High-temperature resistance up to NEMA Class HÂ
- Thermal conductivityÂ
- Thermal insulationÂ
- Electrical resistance
- Electrical conductivityÂ
We test our materials in-house against the most stringent ASTM, IEEE, NEMA, and OEM standards.Â
