Plastic Housings
High-performance injection moulded plastic enclosures, electronics housings, and sensor shells engineered to shield sensitive PCBs, microcontrollers, and wireless transmitters from water ingress, mechanical impacts, and chemical corrosion.
Types & Configurations of Plastic Housings
IP67 Outdoor Telemetry Enclosures
Polycarbonate enclosures with integrated tongue-and-groove silicone gasket channel.
Snap-Together Sensor Transducer Shells
Compact ultrasonic welding or snap-lock ABS cases for automotive radar and proximity sensors.
DIN-Rail Modular Controller Housings
Flame-retardant polyamide enclosures designed for snap-on mounting on standard 35mm DIN rails.
Explosion-Proof Flamepath Housings
Heavy thick-walled glass-reinforced polyester (GRP/SMC) junction boxes for hazardous areas.
Handheld Diagnostic Instrument Cases
Ergonomic ABS enclosures with soft-grip overmolded TPE side bumpers and battery compartments.

Material Selection & Properties
We offer specialized compound formulations tailored to chemical media, thermal extremes, static deflection, and dynamic fatigue requirements. The best material depends on your operating environment and required service life.
| Material / Polymer | Key Engineering Properties | Recommended Applications & Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Nylon 6 / 66 (Polyamide) | High tensile strength, toughness, good sliding properties | Gears, wear pads, wire rope pulleys, bushings |
| POM (Acetal / Delrin) | High dimensional stability, zero moisture absorption | Precision gears, valve seats, fuel sender parts |
| UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular) | Extremely low coefficient of friction (0.10), zero wear | Conveyor wear strips, chute liners, chain guides |
| HDPE / Polypropylene | Chemical resistance to acids & alkalis, food contact | Chemical tank flanges, pipe fittings, plating barrels |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | Optically clear, high impact strength (unbreakable) | Machine safety guards, instrument sight glasses |
Important Engineering Guidance
The above properties are general characteristics. Final material selection depends on your specific application, operating conditions, load requirements, media compatibility, and service temperature. Please contact our polymer engineering team for tailored compounding guidance on Plastic Housings.
