David -

No, the function of a sealed baffle is slightly different from a creepage 
disk.

A properly sealed baffle is a solid wall of insulating material separating 
two areas at different voltage potentials.

A creepage disk is a piece of material placed between two areas at different 
potential that increases the effective distance across which surface arcing 
or tracking must take place. Therefore, when creepage disks are installed it 
increases the voltage at which surface tracking begins to take place.

Scott Hanson
