Disposal
POLIM®-C surge arresters are environmentally-friendly products which must be disposed of based
on the respective applicable regional regulations in an environmentally-friendly manner. The materials
should be given up for recycling.
Constituent components are:
silicone rubber (not halogenated) for the external insulation
terminals and other parts made of aluminium
metal-oxide varistors
fibreglass-reinforced plastic straps
mounting hardware and spring washers from steel
Silicone rubber (not halogenated)
The silicone rubber can break down into SiO
varistors.
Metal-oxide varistors
The metal-oxide varistors are sintered ceramics consisting of about 90% of ZnO. The following addi-
tions are also contained within:
percent by weight between 1 and 4%: Bi
substances according to EU ordinances
percent by weight between 0.1 and 1%: NiO and Cr
gerous materials pursuant to EU guideline 91/689/EEC
Metal-oxide varistors are coated with a thin glass coating containing lead-oxide (<0.1% of the weight
of the metal-oxide varistor).
The substances are ligated as a mixed oxide in metal-oxide varistors. A wash-out test in accordance
with an EPA specification (Federal Register/vol. 45, No 98 /Rules and regulations) has shown that
the sintered metal-oxide varistors can be disposed of as industrial waste without infringing on EEC
guidelines.
No danger to personal health or the environment is present during normal operation.
