Polycarbonate enclosures provide corrosion-resistant, lightweight protection for electrical and electronic systems in wet, outdoor, and industrial environments. Hammond polycarbonate enclosures are a practical solution when corrosion, weight, and flexibility are concerns.
WHAT IS A POLYCARBONATE ENCLOSURE?
Follow us:
A non-metallic electrical enclosure designed to protect
equipment from:
- water ingress
- dust
- corrosion
- environmental exposure
Polycarbonate enclosures are commonly used in industrial,
commercial, and outdoor applications where metal enclosures
may corrode or be unnecessarily heavy.
Key Benefits of Polycarbonate Enclosures
- UL approved and Type 4X (corrosion resistant)
- Economic alternative to FRP
- Still great for corrosive environments
- Most often used indoors where extreme temperatures are a non-issue
- Ideal for continually wet or salty environments
- Also useful in solvent- or chemical-laden areas
- Resistance to dilute acids and bases and fire
- Good impact resistance
- Clear cover options
- Less expensive than some other materials
Where Polycarbonate Enclosures Are Used:
- Water and wastewater treatment systems
- Irrigation and pump controls
- Renewable energy systems (solar and wind)
- Chemical processing environments
- Industrial automation and control systems
Use a polycarbonate enclosure when:
- The environment is wet, humid, or exposed to the elements
- Corrosion resistance is required
- Weight and ease of installation are important
- Visibility into the enclosure is required (clear cover option)
