Non-Metallic Enclosures all:

1. Have a NEMA 4x rating for
Chemical resistance
Outdoor Use
Protection from Dust and Air Debris
Protection from Water and Rain

2. Have a High Insulation Value which

Insulates from cold and hot
Does Not Dissipate heat out from inside the enclosure

3. Is not Conductive

Can’t be used for grounding components to the enclosure
Provide the same security and tamper resistance levels as metallic enclosures when properly locked.

Types of Non-Metallic Enclosures

1. Fiberglass

A thermoset polyester material reinforced with glass fibers, is the most widely used non-metallic material in the industry
High impact strength and rigidity (dimensional stability)
High impact resistance
Superior working temperature range (-31˚F to 300˚F)
Excellent electrical properties
Excellent moisture and overall chemical resistance
Cost effective

2. Polycarbonate

High-performance thermoplastic resin processed by injection molding or sheet extrusion
Good rigidity (dimensional stability)
Superior impact resistance
Extended temperature range (-31˚F to 180˚F)
Excellent electrical properties
Polycarbonate can offer superior fire retention and UV stability
Good corrosion resistance in some acidic surroundings
Not suitable for environments with strong alkalis and organic solvents
Low to moderate price

3. ABS

ABS or ABS blends
High impact resistance
Less impact resistance in cold weather than polycarbonate
Excellent electrical properties
Superior chemical and moisture resistance.
Narrower temperature range than fiberglass (-40˚F to 248˚F)

4. Polyester

High-performance unfilled thermal plastic is processed using injection molding
High impact resistance
Less impact resistance in cold weather than polycarbonate
Excellent electrical properties
Superior chemical and moisture resistance.
Narrower temperature range than fiberglass (-40˚F to 248˚F)
