Materials for low voltage
Complete material solutions for reliable electrical insulation
Three product families for every low‑voltage need
In various segments, from industrial applications to household appliances, mobility solutions, and compact electronic systems, low-voltage insulation materials ensure safe and reliable performance. They safeguard electrical functionality, stabilize components, and support efficient operation even under demanding conditions.
ELANTAS offers three complementary low-voltage insulation product families: Impregnating Materials, Casting & Potting Materials, Flexible Electrical Insulation Materials
Each product group can be applied on its own to solve a specific need or combined when a device benefits from multiple layers of insulation and protection.
Purpose & function
Ensuring safety, stability, and thermal control
Across low‑voltage components, ELANTAS materials enable electrical insulation, structural stabilization, and protection under varying thermal and mechanical conditions throughout the entire service life.
Impregnating materials
consolidate windings, eliminate air pockets, improve heat dissipation, and strengthen the mechanical integrity of the application.
Casting & potting materials
encapsulate parts to protect them from vibration, moisture, dust, chemicals, and thermal shock, while enhancing dielectric reliability and managing heat.
Flexible electrical insulation materials
form essential dielectric barriers inside machines, preventing contact between conductive elements and supporting mechanical integrity.
Tailored formulations for every insulation challenge
ELANTAS offers a broad selection of chemistries engineered to meet specific customer demands:
Impregnating materials: solvent-based varnishes, water-based varnishes & emulsions, unsaturated polyester (UP) resins, unsaturated polyester-imide (UPI) systems, epoxy resins, epoxy-polyester hybrid systems. These materials support all key impregnation methods such as dip, hot‑dip, roll‑dip, trickle, spray, vacuum impregnation, and VPI, with curing options that span air‑dry, heat‑cure, and UV‑assisted processes.
Casting & potting materials: epoxy, polyurethane, polybutadiene, silicone, and hybrid chemistries - tunable for viscosity, gel time, hardness or flexibility, exotherm, thermal resistance, and environmental durability.
Flexible electrical insulation materials: films, laminates, tapes, papers, and engineered multilayer composites based on high‑performance polymers such as polyester, polyimide, aramid, and mica.
This chemistry depth allows manufacturers to match material properties and processing behavior exactly to the needs of the respective low‑voltage part.
Portfolio & applications
Covering the full range of components
The ELANTAS low‑voltage portfolio supports a wide range of electrical and electronic components.
Impregnating materials
Impregnating materials are for example used for sensors, relays, coils/inductors, small transformers and low voltage motors.
Casting & potting systems
Casting & potting systems serve applications such as sensor housings, filters, relays, capacitors, ignition coils, PCB assemblies, battery modules or low voltage transformers.
Flexible electrical insulation materials
Flexible electrical insulation materials are applied as slot liners, phase insulation, interlayer barriers, tapes, and laminates in low voltage motors, small generators, transformers, actuators, and compact electrical assemblies.

Quality & performance
What customers can expect
ELANTAS low‑voltage materials are developed to deliver long‑term reliability and stability. Each product family is engineered for consistent processing behavior, ensuring predictable viscosity, controlled curing, stable gel times, and reproducible insulation results in both manual and automated manufacturing environments.
Our formulation quality supports low defect rates, extended component service life, and robust performance even in compact or high‑density designs.
In addition, ELANTAS materials undergo extensive electrical and thermal validation, including dielectric strength testing, thermal index assessments, hydrolytic aging, and cycling under vibration and thermal shock. Many grades are recognized under UL 94, UL 1446, and UL 746B, and align with global standards across industrial, appliance, and transportation applications.
Testing & technical expertise
Guidance from concept to qualification
ELANTAS supports manufacturers with application‑specific engineering, process optimization, and material‑selection guidance across all three product families. Experts help define the best single‑material approach or multi‑material stack, set impregnation parameters, determine ideal gel times and viscosities for potting, and select the right flexible insulation structures for slot, phase, and interlayer applications.
Furthermore, ELANTAS operates UL‑certified laboratory capabilities and dedicated application labs where we process and test customer parts. We conduct all required tests in‑house, including electrical, chemical, mechanical, and magnetic evaluations - enabling rapid design loops, data‑driven optimization, and efficient qualification.
Our teams support customers in tuning curing profiles, improving throughput, validating to UL requirements, and integrating insulation materials for optimal end‑use performance. A dedicated global support network ensures reliable implementation and tailored solutions for every application.
Global footprint & leadership
Consistence across the world
ELANTAS provides a unified low‑voltage offering through its global production and R&D network spanning Europe, North America, South America, India and Asia, ensuring consistent quality and secure supply chains.
With deep expertise in polymer chemistry and decades of leadership in electrical insulation, ELANTAS serves key low‑voltage markets including appliances, industrial automation, mobility, consumer devices, power tools, and compact electrical systems. This integrated portfolio and global capability make ELANTAS a trusted partner for high‑performance low‑voltage insulation and protection materials.
