Formex Insulating Barrier

Industry Switchgear / Panelboard
Material Formex 125-BK
Service Provided
  • The Gund Company Canada worked closely with customer to replace a barrier assembly formerly made up of 3 pieces of glass polyester and hardware.
  • The Gund Company Canada proposed FORMEX, a modified polypropylene material with UL94-V0 rating and a dielectric strength 10% above glass polyester.
  • Part is CNC stamped, preheated and bent and allowed to cool in fixtures to maintain degree of bend angle. 
  • Final product was lighter and cheaper than original design, with no assembly required. Customer savings in excess of $10,000 per year. 
  • Customer preference for custom color (white) was also accommodated. 
  • Formex can often replace other materials in thinner gauges and offer equal or better dielectric performance, where structural strength is not a requirement.

This is one of the many customized services The Gund Company Canada can provide including a wide range of non-metallic fabrication and sub-assembly work.
