Type X Switchpanel Rigid Laminate – Reliable Electrical Insulation

Commonly referred to in the industry as a “Braemite-style panel”, this Type X switchpanel laminate is a dense, fire-resistant backing board trusted for electrical insulation and switchboard construction. While not made from traditional rigid laminates like phenolic or densified wood, it offers a durable and cost-effective alternative for general switchboard and cabinet use.

Engineered for industrial-grade electrical insulation, Type X Switchpanel Laminate offers outstanding mechanical strength and thermal stability. Its rigid structure and ease of fabrication make it ideal for high-voltage panels, switchgear assemblies, and control equipment.

Key Features:

• Available Thicknesses: 4.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 50mm
  (These are standard thicknesses — contact us if other thicknesses are required via our quote form)
• Sheet Dimensions: 2440mm x 1220mm – easy to cut and fabricate
• Thermal Performance: Withstands continuous temperatures up to 110°C
• Excellent Rigidity: Maintains structural integrity in harsh environments
• Superior Electrical Properties: Trusted for use in critical insulation applications
