What is a dustproof, splashproof case?
What is a water resistant case?
The more multi-use your equipment is, the more you are tempted to ask for “waterproof” plastic boxes or cases. Therefore, the more important it is to understand the word “waterproof”. The risks to your electronic devices are not always well understood. Everyday dust or just a few drops of rain is enough to disrupt the operation of your equipment or not. Fortunately, today we can find solutions to protect your devices, through their design and also by adding internal elements to make them more resistant to splashes. Thanks to adapted construction, reinforced solders and additional seals, water splashes and dust will no longer endanger your electronics.
However, a splash-proof device does not mean resistant to all types of projections (jets, pressure or immersion …), unless there is additional protection of water resistance of a certified level IP65 and above (even in this case, damage caused by liquids may not be covered by warranties). A few drops of water are not likely to damage your splash-proof product, but leaving it in pouring rain could be risky. 
It is therefore advisable to be precise about the destination and usual use of your product. Firstly because it would be a shame to simply start from the principle “who can do more, can do less” and quickly rule out viable and economical solutions or add unnecessary costs to the manufacture of your boxes.
REVOLUPLAST offers you plastic solutions without molds that can be close to IP44 or even IP54 in certain designs, find out more.
Our achievements in sheet metal work and small plastic boilermaking can meet certain protection requirements, provided that they are known before design and that certain steps, rework, accessories and checks are added to the manufacturing process. The bends, assemblies and welds will be reinforced and joints will be added.
REVOLUPLAST produces little for consumer applications. Our technology, which allows for the manufacturing of small and medium-sized series of housings, is not the most equipped to guarantee an IP rating, but we have already many projects that have perfectly met the challenge with reinforced protection against water intrusion.
And you, what are your needs in this area?
