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)
