Polymeric Insulator
Our polymeric insulator is an electrical insulator made from polymer materials rather than traditional ceramic or glass. These insulators are widely used in power transmission and distribution systems to support and electrically isolate conductors while withstanding environmental and mechanical stresses.
As a leading polymeric insulator manufacturer, ZheXi delivers high-performance polymer insulator solutions tailored for the most demanding electrical applications. Backed by decades of R&D and adherence to international standards, our composite polymer insulator insulator designs combine silicone rubber housing and epoxy glass fiber core rods to ensure a maintenance-free lifespan exceeding 30 years. From high-pollution coastal zones to space‑constrained urban grids, ZheXi's expertise guarantees reliable insulation performance under extreme conditions.
✔ Pin Type Insulator: Mounted on a pin on the cross-arm of a pole.
✔ Suspension Insulator: Hangs from the conductor via a string of insulator units.
✔ Post Insulator: Vertical support for conductors in substations.
✔ Strain / Tension Insulator: Designed to handle mechanical tension in conductors.
In addition to polymer insulators of various structural types, we also offer polymer insulators made of materials such as silicone rubber. We can produce and manufacture polymer insulators for low to high voltages, from 11kV to 110kV.
ZheXi composite insulator Manufacturer crafts each polymer insulator using a silicone rubber housing bonded to an epoxy glass fiber core rod, providing exceptional hydrophobicity and resistance to environmental aging. Engineered for a 30+ year maintenance‑free service life, our high voltage insulator products eliminate the need for frequent inspections or replacements.
