Loaʻa nā waiwai uila koʻikoʻi ʻo Silicone rubber.ʻO kāna pōmaikaʻi koʻikoʻi ʻo kona ikaika dielectric, mana kumu a me ka hana insulation e hoʻopilikia liʻiliʻi ʻia e ka wela a me nā loli pinepine. Ma luna o ka laulā wela loa, e mau ana ka ikaika dielectric. Ma kahi ākea ākea, ʻaʻole i loli ka dielectric mau a me ka tangent o ka poho dielectric. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kūpaʻa corona a me ka pale uila o ka silicone rubber. ʻO kona ola pale corona ma kahi o hoʻokahi kaukani manawa ma mua o ka polytetrafluoroethylene. ʻO ke ola kūpaʻa arc ma kahi o 20 mau manawa ma mua o ka lāʻau fluorine. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻopau ʻana o ka silicone rubber. ʻOiai inā e ʻā ana ia i ke ahi, ʻo ka silicon dioxide ka hopena
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana o ka lāʻau silicone ma mua o ka lāʻau maʻamau. Manaʻo maʻamau ʻo ke kumu aia i loko o kona ʻano kalapona haʻahaʻa ma mua o ka lāʻau lapaʻau maʻamau. No laila, liʻiliʻi loa ka nui o ke kalapona conductive ma muli o ke arc, a ua pani ʻia e ka silica. Hoʻopili pū ka polarity o nā pūʻulu ʻaoʻao i ka polysilane i ka pae dielectric mau a me ka resistivity volume
