You might consider polycarbonate. (GE calls it "Lexan")

It's very strong both mechanically and electrically, and it's machinable.

Not sure what your replacing if it is a round insulator piece for 2 pipes
or stand off type insulator for matching section or what?

Try fiberglass rod material or Teflon blocks depends on application.
 Teflon blocks were used on heavy industrial equipment when shipped so the
equipment can be slide over the floor.

Bird poop will short things out no matter what you use!!
