- Four times more impact-resistant than fiberglass with better UV characteristics
- More cost-efficient since there is no preparation, assembly or hardware to be added to the enclosure
- Clean, attractive design perfect for a variety of applications
- Simple ordering and pre-assembled right out of the box
- Integrated mounting flange eliminates additional hardware
- Built-in latching/padlock provision

Polycarbonate Advantages Versus Fiberglass Enclosures
UV Protection
Fiberglass enclosures will “bloom” when exposed to sunlight. In fact, manufacturers of FRP enclosures recommend painting their products. This is not necessary with Integra thermoplastic enclosures.
Outdoor UV exposure ratings for both the Premium and JIC lines are F1. See Engineering Properties on page 25 for more details.
Impact Resistance
The engineered thermoplastic enclosure has dramatically better impact resistance. For example, the Premium Line enclosure has an impact resistance of over 900 lb/in, while fiberglass typically has an impact resistance of less than 220 lb/in.
Ease Of Modification
Thermoplastic enclosures are much easier and safer to machine, with none of the dust and splintering associated with fiberglass.
