Page 1: Where to Use Hoffman Non-Metallic Enclosures

©2009 Hoffman Enclosures Inc. Tech-00056 C

Wet environments. Harsh chemicals. Humidity. Dust and grime. Ocean air. Protecting vital electronic equipment, instruments and electrical systems in these tough conditions calls for Hoffman non-metallic enclosures. Not only do non-metallics provide a low-cost alternative to stainless steel for corrosion resistance, they’re also lightweight, easy to modify and tough—making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use.

For more than 50 years, Hoffman has provided rugged enclosures tailor-made to protect sensitive electronic components in the most demanding applications. With non-metallic enclosures, Hoffman takes this dependability to the next level. Choose from enclosures with low solar heat absorption for cost-effective thermal management, a wide operating temperature range to withstand the most challenging conditions, and high impact resistance for the busiest factory environments. Inside or outside, Hoffman non-metallic enclosures protect your equipment safely and effectively.

Hoffman Enclosures for the World’s Extreme Environments.

Designed to safely house electrical and electronic controls in the harshest outdoor and indoor environments, Hoffman non-metallic enclosures offer effective and economical protection in these and other commercial and industrial applications:

• Petroleum and chemical processing

• Water treatment• Security/Fire

• Pulp and paper• Telecommunications• Marine• Controls OEM

• Any indoor or outdoor application exposed to corrosive or harsh environments

Where to Use Hoffman Non-Metallic Enclosures

Corrosion ResistanceThe chart to the right provides guidance for determining the feasibility of using certain enclosure materials in environments containing solvents and organics, alkalis and oxidizers, and acids and neutral salts. Materials are rated on a scale of Recommended to Limited Use based upon their performance in resisting corrosion. However, note that the enclosure materials listed as Limited Use will perform well when exposed to certain specific corrosive agents within the three general classes. Refer to the detailed Chemical Resistance Charts in the Hoffman Specifier’s Guide for complete information.

Performance ComparisonWhile strength and corrosion resistance may be primary considerations, other factors such as impact resistance and ease of modification may also come into play. This chart provides basic material comparisons to further help you select the best non-metallic enclosure material for your application.

Wet environments. Harsh chemicals. Humidity. Dust and grime. Ocean air. Protecting vital electronic equipment, instruments and electrical systems in these tough conditions calls for Hoffman non-metallic enclosures. Not only do non-metallics provide a low-cost alternative to stainless steel for corrosion resistance, they’re also lightweight, easy to modify and tough—making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use.

For more than 50 years, Hoffman has provided rugged enclosures tailor-made to protect sensitive electronic components in the most demanding applications. With non-metallic enclosures, Hoffman takes this dependability to the next level. Choose from enclosures with low solar heat absorption for cost-effective thermal management, a wide operating temperature range to withstand the most challenging conditions, and high impact resistance for the busiest factory environments. Inside or outside, Hoffman non-metallic enclosures protect your equipment safely and effectively.

Hoffman Enclosures for the World’s Extreme Environments.

Designed to safely house electrical and electronic controls in the harshest outdoor and indoor environments, Hoffman non-metallic enclosures offer effective and economical protection in these and other commercial and industrial applications:

• Petroleum and chemical processing

• Water treatment• Security/Fire

• Pulp and paper• Telecommunications• Marine• Controls OEM

• Any indoor or outdoor application exposed to corrosive or harsh environments

Where to Use Hoffman Non-Metallic Enclosures

Corrosion ResistanceThe chart to the right provides guidance for determining the feasibility of using certain enclosure materials in environments containing solvents and organics, alkalis and oxidizers, and acids and neutral salts. Materials are rated on a scale of Recommended to Limited Use based upon their performance in resisting corrosion. However, note that the enclosure materials listed as Limited Use will perform well when exposed to certain specific corrosive agents within the three general classes. Refer to the detailed Chemical Resistance Charts in the Hoffman Specifier’s Guide for complete information.

Performance ComparisonWhile strength and corrosion resistance may be primary considerations, other factors such as impact resistance and ease of modification may also come into play. This chart provides basic material comparisons to further help you select the best non-metallic enclosure material for your application.
