Why choose fiberglass electrical enclosures?
Before we talking about fiberglass enclosures,let's take a quick look at glass fibers in our normal life.
Glass fibers are called silicate fibers and are mainly composed of glass. It has a wide range of applications and is usually used for commercial and residential thermal insulation purposes. In the manufacture of fiberglass products, it is used to manufacture products such as tent poles, shower curtains, roofs, arrows, hulls, electrical enclosures and car bodies. When it comes to glass fiber for insulation purposes, it helps slow down the spread of sound, cold and heat in airplanes, cars, and structures. Some estimates indicate that fiberglass used for thermal insulation can reduce a person's energy costs by nearly half, which makes the product very attractive to users.
What are fiberglass electrical enclosures?
Fiberglass electrical enclosures are used for chemical resistance in corrosive applications. By molding under pressure and heat, the glass fiber is then reinforced with polyester resin. This detailed production process enables fiberglass electrical enclosures to handle many hazardous properties that other products cannot. In addition to handling chemical products, they can be used indoors and outdoors due to their robust frame that can withstand extreme temperatures.
The normal fiberglass electrical enclosures is SMC junction box,SMC meter box and SMC pole mounted junction box,SMC meter box.The full name of SMC is Sheet Moulding Compound.It is a process intermediate manufactured from unsaturated polyester resin, mineral fillers, and short glass fibers. Currently SMC/FRP Junction Box manufacturers adopt this technology to produce electric junction box,such as Zhongfeiya Tech,is a typical representative professional manufacturers in China.
Why SMC electric enclosures not polycarbonate enclosures(Plastic enclosure)?
Compared with Plastic enclosures,SMC electric enclosures(Fiberglass enclosures) have a great advantage.While the working conditions are organic solvents or operating under direct sunlight ,we do not recommend to use polycarbonate enclosures.The temperature range of glass fiber is -40C to 121C, has excellent electrical performance.It can withstand load.So SMC electric enclosures are very suitable for continuous humid or corrosive environment, and can handle external shocks. The manufacturing or replacement cost of the fiberglass shell is extremely low. And the possibility of failure is small. Therefore, considering the benefits of the fiberglass shell, many aspects of the fiberglass enclosures are a better choice over the polycarbonate shell.
Why people choose fiberglass electrical enclosures
To summarize, there are below reasons why people choose fiberglass electrical enclosures over other products on the market. SMC electric enclosures are stronger than metal box, resistant to rust and corrosion, safe to install in high-salt areas, flame-retardant or safe around corrosive materials, we choose fiberglass electrical enclosures instead of other products because:
1.) Fiberglass supports freedom design
There are almost no restrictions on glass fiber molding, which provides a wide range of possibilities for engineers. Engineers can use durable and strong fiberglass to create visually appealing products. To make things better, you can take multi-piece parts (made of fiberglass) and convert them into one piece.
2.) The perfect appearance of fiberglass electrical enclosures
The fiberglass shells enhance the functionality of the product. Using glass fiber, any feeling or appearance can be achieved, and the surface treatment is as if the product is a high-tech product.
3.) Cost-effective
Since steel price depends on China's market requirement for products, we always expect lower prices for glass fiber. In addition to lower cost, warranty work and maintenance is also lower. If you happen to store or transport fiberglass, you will find that the transportation cost is lower (it is very light), and it can withstand some shock.
4.) Special characteristics of fiberglass
The characteristic of fiberglass is radio-frequency transparent and non-conductive. If you want to install electronic devices well, and do not want to destroy their performance, fiberglass is the best choice to meet your requirements for electrical enclosures.It can also protect employees from harmful substances in the enclosure,and easily for maintenance.
5.) Fiberglass absorb sound waves
You never know that SMC enclosure has an amazing acoustic effect. Whether you need to meet sound level requirements or want to reduce the volume of your machine, fiberglass is the right one. Unlike wood, plastic, or metal, shrinks or expands due to pressure, cold, and/or heat.
6.) Fiberglass can prevent moisture
When fiberglass is exposed to moisture, it will not retain or absorb moisture. If the glass fiber insulation layer becomes wet after or during the insulation process, the installer only need to check whether there is pollution around it.After checking, drying and cleaning the surrounding area, the fiberglass enclosures will return to its original shape.
7.) Eco-friendly for the fiberglass made of recycled materials
The SMC enclosure manufacturing industry is well known for keeping the earth clean.It is reported that the industry successfully recycled more than 8 billion pounds of post-consumer and ore-consumer glass containers during 1992 to 2000. The recycled content of glass fiber is very high, eliminating millions of feet of space in landfills. As for fiberglass insulation, products such as loose-filled, coiled and batting insulation products contain up to 80% recycled glass. Other ingredients found in glass fiber insulation materials include silica sand, which is a natural source of renewal and has little impact on the environment during the manufacturing process.
