RESUMO

This work aims at the study of the application of reforestation wood, of Pinus Taeda species, impregnated with polyurethane resin derived from the castor-oil plant as a new product for the manufacture of hybrid electric insulators. This research possesses a great ecological appeal, as the wood-polyurethane resin composite derived from reforestation wood and castor-oil plant. Studies with wood squares have shown this material presents excellent performance in assays of Basic Level of Isolation (NEI). The wood shows good electric characteristics when dried and also some good mechanical properties, as tenacity, which minimizes the vandalism damage, one of the great problems in this sector. The polyurethane resin attributes hydrocospicity to the wood and protection against the attack of biological agents, improving its mechanical and electrical properties. An innovative process was used for the impregnation of the wood with resin, utilizing vacuum for both processing impregnation of the resin. The atmospheric pressure expels the air out of the resin, which becomes more homogeneous, and obliges it to fill the cavities of the wood.
