Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic material with high strength and resistance to impact and fracture. Better still, it is 100% recyclable and has relatively low energy requirements for its manufacture. For these reasons it is being used in more and more applications. Find out why Fibox Polycarbonate enclosures are a more sustainable option than steel here.

One example is the new range of electronic enclosures from Fibox, now available in sizes from a large matchbox to street cabinets up to 1.5m high.

Traditionally enclosure manufacturers have used metal for strength or other plastics for economy. Utilising PC enables Fibox to deliver enclosures which are both strong and cost effective with many further benefits.

Light weight, good electrical isolation, resistance to corrosion and chemicals and IK protection against mechanical impact all make a compelling case for selecting the PC material. With a flammability rating to UL94-5A, PC is also Halogen free enabling deployment in enclosed areas.

PC does not impede radio frequency signals, enabling items such as WIFI antennas to be placed inside with no negative effect on their range. And, being recyclable, using PC for enclosures is good for the environment.

For electrical and electronic manufacturers and for network or systems installers there are a great many reasons why they should use enclosures made from Polycarbonate.
