Innovative Electrical Insulation & Composite Materials

Our engineered materials are trusted for performance under intense pressure and operational demands that may exist in multiple industries. Whether the challenge is extreme temperature, extreme electrical loads, or an environment with extreme corrosion, our materials are always capable. Every engineered product is created with long-lasting reliability, safety, and stability in mind. With decades of experience in researching, manufacturing, and machining high-performance insulation and composite materials, we know well the demands of real-world applications. Our customers are relying on our materials to maintain a consistent dielectric strength, structural integrity, and dimensional accuracy under all stresses. We do not accept failure. The only thing we accept is precision-engineered perfection.

Engineered and manufactured for extreme thermal, electrical, and mechanical performance.

We engineer and manufacture custom components using a wide range of electrical insulation materials, prepreg, and resin systems that are designed for the most complex applications. Whether your components need to withstand high voltage, harsh environments, or thermal cycling, we meet the challenges that others cannot. We offer consistent quality, dimensional stability, and superior resistance to heat, moisture, and the forces applied during actual mechanical use. 

Electrical Insulating Laminates

Rigid laminates that provide excellent dielectric properties for transformers, switches, and motors.

Flexible Insulating Materials

Thin, flexible materials with exceptional heat and electrical resistance for use in confined spaces.

Resin Systems

High-performance epoxy, phenolic, and polyester resin systems for molded insulating components.

Thermoplastics & Thermosets

Custom-formed components made from advanced polymers such as PEEK, PTFE, polyimides, and others.

Custom Machined Parts

Precision-machined parts made from engineered materials under close tolerances are suitable for any industry.

Wm. F. McGraw & Co.

We specialize in the fabrication of mold and platen insulation for the plastic injection and rubber molding industries

What We Fabricate

Thermoplastics are softenable, machinable, and reformable polymers. We fabricate the four workhorse grades that cover the vast majority of OEM thermoplastic applications.

Electrical insulating spacers, standoffs, and bushings
Arc barriers, phase separators, and bus insulation
Terminal blocks, connector bodies, and switch housings
Heat-resistant brackets, mounting pads, and structural supports
Custom-profiled sheets, rods, and tubes cut to print
Precision-machined assemblies combining multiple materials

Materials We Work With

We fabricate from four core families of engineering plastics, each selected for specific electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance characteristics:

Nylons (Polyamide)

Nylon offers an exceptional combination of mechanical strength, self-lubricating properties, and electrical insulation. Ideal for moving components, insulators, and structural parts that must perform in humid or chemically active environments.

Acetals (POM / Delrin®)

Acetal delivers outstanding dimensional stability, low friction, and excellent machinability. The go-to material when tight tolerances, moisture resistance, and consistent performance over time are required.

G-10 Fiberglass Epoxy Laminate

G-10 is the benchmark material for high-voltage electrical insulation. Its high dielectric strength, near-zero moisture absorption, and mechanical rigidity make it the standard choice for switchgear, terminal boards, and panel insulation.

GPO-3 Glass Polyester

GPO-3 combines superior arc resistance and flame retardancy with cost-effective processability. Widely specified for motor controls, switchgear barriers, and transformer insulation where arc-tracking resistance is critical.

Complete Design-to-Delivery Solutions

We offer a fully integrated suite of services, from concept to production, that ensures your electrical equipment materials will meet the highest standards of function, safety, and manufacturability. Our approach is designed to manage risks, compress timelines, nd generate quality at every stage of production.

Design & Prototyping

Our engineers turn complex ideas into real solutions. With a combination of advanced modeling software and real-world know-how, we can timeline prototype for performance testing, iterative proof of concept, and product feasibility, facilitating the progression of your designs smoothly into production.

Precision CNC machining

With multi-axis machining centers, our CNC capabilities will produce very complicated parts with extreme precision and repeatability. Whether tight tolerances or complex geometries are your requirements, we can provide consistent scale and quality every time.

Fabrication

From cutting and shaping to bonding and laminating and forming and surface finishing, our fabrication team is skilled and consistent. We work with a wide range of materials and configurations, making complex builds possible. All parts are made to spec to facilitate dependable installation and future durability in mission-critical applications.
