🔍 Key Concepts

• Electrical insulation properties needed for antenna strain insulators • Weather and UV resistance of materials used outdoors on antennas • Mechanical strength and brittleness when exposed to wind, ice, and temperature changes

💭 Think About

• Which material keeps its insulating properties best when wet, salty, or dirty from outdoor exposure? • Which option combines high electrical insulation with long-term durability and low maintenance in a marine environment? • Which material is least likely to crack, absorb moisture, or degrade under sun and weather over many years?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare the dielectric (insulating) strength and water absorption of each material • Consider how UV exposure, salt spray, and temperature changes affect each option over time • Ask which of these is commonly used in commercial/marine antenna insulators and why
