“ From this year “
Xrun Company, established on September 9, 1999, is the first company in China specializing in electrical insulating materials. As a National High-tech Enterprise and Specialized and Innovative SME, Xrun has obtained ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001 certifications. With two factories in Jiading and Songjiang Districts, Shanghai, China, and a dedicated R&D Institute, Xrun focuses on the research, development, production, and sales of epoxy resin and polyurethane insulating adhesives. To date, Xrun has supplied over 180 thousand tons of epoxy materials for electrical insulation, supporting ultra/extra-high voltage GIS, GIL, dry-type transformers, and cable accessories.
Epoxy resin additives and auxiliary materials play a critical role in enhancing the performance, reliability, and processability of epoxy systems in industrial applications. Their functions can be categorized as follows:
| Type of Additive / Auxiliary Material | Main Function | Performance Impact | Application Example |
| Accelerators | Reduce curing time | Faster production cycles, improved efficiency | GIS insulation casting |
| Thixotropic Agents | Control resin viscosity and prevent sagging | Better mold filling, consistent insulation thickness | Dry-type transformer epoxy molding |
| Coupling Agents | Enhance adhesion between epoxy resin and fillers | Improved mechanical strength, long-term reliability | Cable accessories, insulating bushings |
| Fillers & Extenders | Adjust thermal conductivity and reduce shrinkage | Improved heat dissipation and dimensional stability | GIL & GIS insulation |
| Flame Retardants | Improve fire resistance | Safety compliance, reduced flammability | Electrical insulation for switchgear |
