Precision insulation for electrical panels and switchgear.

Arc barriers, busbar protectors, and structural insulating panels in Hitex and Lexan® — laser- and CNC-cut for switchgear and electrical distribution equipment manufacturers.

Sector Expertise

Structural parts that protect people and equipment.

Distribution panels and medium-voltage switchgear place severe demands on their insulation components: mechanical strength, arc resistance, and dimensional stability under thermal stress. Hitex 020 meets all three criteria at once.

We cut structural parts for busbar compartments, phase separators, and arc protection. CNC cutting lets us handle heavy thicknesses, while laser cutting takes on complex shapes in thinner gauges — both processes are available depending on your application.

Key Advantages

Why panel manufacturers choose P&P.

Arc-Flash Resistance

Hitex 020 withstands the intense heat of an electrical arc — it doesn't burn or deform during a short-circuit fault. Essential for protecting maintenance personnel.

Dimensional Stability

Insulation panels must fit panel compartments precisely. CNC cutting guarantees tight tolerances even at thicknesses of 10 mm and up.

Complex Shapes, No Tooling

Busbar cutouts, cable pass-throughs, and instrumentation openings are produced directly from your DXF — no die cost, no tooling lead time.

Low Moisture Absorption

Hitex 020 absorbs less than 0.3% moisture — dimensions stay stable even in humid utility rooms. No swelling, no loss of insulation.
