Description
VIPAK® GRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester) enclosures provide robust, long-lasting protection for industrial instrumentation in harsh environments, particularly cold or corrosive conditions. Engineered with molded GRP material and foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation, these enclosures deliver superior impact resistance, UV and chemical durability, and excellent thermal performance. Designed for outdoor and industrial applications, they feature stainless steel latches and hinges, neoprene gaskets, and comply with IP65 and NEMA 4X standards. VIPAK® GRP enclosures maintain optimal instrument functionality in extreme temperatures (-60°C to 120°C), offer fire and flame resistance, and minimize maintenance and downtime in demanding industrial settings. Ideal for chemical, refining, power, and analytical industries.
Advantages Over ABS Enclosures
- Enhanced Durability: GRP resists impact, UV exposure, and chemicals better than ABS.
- Superior Weather Resistance: Performs reliably in freezing, wet, and corrosive environments.
- Improved Insulation: Polyurethane foam ensures excellent thermal protection in cold climates.
- Fire & Flame Resistance: GRP offers higher fire resistance compared to ABS materials.
- Long Service Life: Maintains integrity in environments with strong UV and chemical exposure.
Selecting the O’Brien VIPAK® GRP Series means investing in dependable
performance and reduced maintenance downtime for critical instrumentation in
corrosive, hazardous, or freezing conditions.
