This article presents the results of research carried out on two types of commercially used insulation materials, modified with the addition of organophilic phyllosilicate (CLOISITE C20A)and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The influence of fillers on the mechanical properties of insulating materials is discussed as a potential mechanism for increasing their resistance to the phenomenon of water-tree.
