K-LINE INSULATORS Story

K-LINE INSULATORS is well known internationally as an innovative Canadian manufacturer of high quality, high performance, Silicone Rubber Insulators.

The company was established in 1983 with its head office located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Today K-LINE INSULATORS also operates out of facilities in the USA and Mexico. K-LINE INSULATORS products are distributed world-wide through these offices and a consolidated network of representatives.

Product lines manufactured by K-LINE INSULATORS include transmission and distribution suspension/deadend, line post and station post insulators. Other products include riser support insulators, dead-end extension insulators, polymer-coated guy strains and specialty insulators for in-line switches, air-break switches, interphase spacers, railways and live line tools. These insulators are designed to the various standards (i.e. CSA, CEA, ANSI, IEEE, IEC, etc.).

K-LINE INSULATORS introduced the original Universal Polymeric Line Post design. Its uniqueness and effectiveness was quickly recognized by the industry worldwide and became endearingly called the K-Clamp™.

K-LINE INSULATORS has excellent engineering resources and test facilities for product design and development. K-LINE INSULATORS uses its own proprietary technologies, designs and rubber formulations, in the manufacture of all its insulator products.

K-LINE INSULATORS’ highly developed proprietary silicone rubber formulation is characterized by its superior performance under contaminated conditions. All insulators are injection molded in a continuous one piece design and exhibit self-cleaning characteristics. The rubber is highly bonded to the fibreglass core strength member with impervious rod sealing system at the interfaces. These products have a long and proven performance record in severely contaminated environments.
