SHIP TO SHORE, INTEGRA'S MARINE ELECTRONIC ENCLOSURES PROTECT YOU FROM THE STORM

Whether navigating the high seas, docked at a bustling port, or moored peacefully in a serene marina, the delicate components powering marine and coastal operations demand robust protection against the unforgiving elements. With the harmful erosion and damage caused by wind, water, and salt, the reliability and safety of electrical and electronic systems are paramount and require a top-of-the-line security system. This is where Integra steps in, offering a comprehensive range of waterproof and weatherproof enclosures, meticulously designed to shield vital apparatuses from nature’s onslaught.

Protecting Electronics in Marine Environments

In the harsh and unpredictable marine environment, where saltwater, moisture, and UV radiation pose constant threats, safeguarding electronic components becomes imperative. Without proper protection, these elements can wreak havoc on sensitive electronics, leading to malfunctions, corrosion, and costly downtime. Recognizing the challenges posed by maritime conditions, Integra has developed a comprehensive range of enclosures engineered to provide robust protection for critical systems onboard buoys, at ports, and in marinas.

With Integra’s enclosures, your marine electrical components remain safeguarded, undeterred by the corrosive forces of saltwater, the relentless assault of moisture, or the harsh glare of the sun. These enclosures stand as guardians, fortifying your equipment against the rigors of maritime environments while maintaining their structural integrity with unwavering resilience. From the rolling waves to the tranquil harbors, Integra’s enclosures provide a steadfast defense, ensuring the seamless operation of critical systems regardless of the maritime conditions.

Waterproof Enclosures

Integra’s waterproof enclosures are engineered to provide unparalleled protection against water ingress, making them ideal for environments where electronics may be exposed to moisture or submerged temporarily. These enclosures, constructed from robust materials such as polycarbonate and stainless steel, offer a formidable barrier against the elements, shielding sensitive electronics from damage caused by water infiltration. Whether navigating through turbulent waters or enduring torrential downpours, Integra’s waterproof enclosures ensure the integrity and functionality of vital electronic systems remain intact.

Polycarbonate Electronics Boxes

Integra’s polycarbonate electronics boxes represent the epitome of durability and resilience in marine environments. Crafted from high-quality polycarbonate, these enclosures boast exceptional strength and chemical resistance, making them impervious to the corrosive effects of saltwater. Unlike steel or fiberglass enclosures that may succumb to rust and degradation over time, Integra’s polycarbonate electronics boxes remain unaffected by prolonged exposure to wet and humid conditions, ensuring reliable performance even in the harshest of settings. 

To maintain this high level of durability, Integra’s polycarbonate enclosures are rigorously tested both internally and by qualified third parties and have passed the following benchmarks:

  • International IP68 and NEMA 6P standards for performance
  • Wide operating temperature -40 to 265 degrees F 
  • 900 in-lbs tensile strength and high impact resistance
  • UL f1 UV resistance
  • UL-50/cUL Listed 
  • RoHS compliant

Benefits of Utilizing Waterproof Polycarbonate Enclosures

Exceptional Water Resistance

Integra Enclosures IP68 rated waterproof enclosures are a perfect match for the temporarily submerged (up to 6 feet for 24 hours) and wet environments found in the marine industry. Integra’s unique enclosure design creates a water-tight seal that locks out humidity, rain and splashing waves. Furthermore, the robust design and quality materials continue to lock out water and hold up to the added pressure of temporary submersion. This is ideal for locations that are prone to flooding. 

Corrosion Prevention

Saltwater, with its corrosive properties, poses a significant threat to electronic equipment in marine and coastal settings. Unlike traditional metal enclosures that are susceptible to rust and degradation, Integra’s weatherproof enclosures are crafted from corrosion-resistant materials such as polycarbonate and stainless steel. This ensures that the enclosures remain unaffected by saltwater, oil and other chemicals, providing enduring protection for electronics and minimizing the risk of premature failure.

Rugged Durability

Outdoor environments can subject electronic equipment to harsh conditions, including vibration, impact, and extreme temperatures. Integra’s heavy-duty waterproof enclosures are built to withstand these rigors, featuring rugged construction and robust materials that can endure even the strongest storms.. Integra’s enclosures are engineered with robust side walls and unique geometry to deliver unmatched strength when it matters most. Because of this intentional design, Integra polycarbonate enclosures ensure that  critical systems remain operational under any circumstances.

Compliance with Industry Standards

Integra’s waterproof enclosures undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with international standards such as IP68 and NEMA 6P. These certifications attest to the electrical enclosures’ performance and reliability in harsh environments, providing customers with confidence in their ability to protect valuable electronic equipment. By adhering to industry standards, Integra ensures that its enclosures meet the stringent requirements of marine applications, delivering peace of mind to customers worldwide.

Versatile Applications

Integra’s waterproof enclosures are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of marine applications. Whether it’s housing remote monitoring systems, , communication equipment, or electrical controls for on-board machinery, these electrical boxes provide a secure and protective environment for critical equipment. With various sizes, configurations, and mounting options available, Integra’s waterproof enclosures can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any marine or coastal installation, providing flexible solutions for diverse environmental challenges.

Stainless Steel Enclosures for Marine Electronics

Integra’s NEMA 4X rated stainless steel enclosures stand as a testament to durability and reliability in marine and coastal environments. Constructed from premium-grade stainless steel, these enclosures exhibit superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and degradation, ensuring longevity even in harsh saltwater environments. Additionally, stainless steel’s inherent UV resistance helps dissipate heat, keeping electronics cool and operational even under direct sunlight. With Integra’s stainless steel enclosures, marine electronics are safeguarded against the elements, maintaining optimal performance and functionality in any maritime setting.

Benefits of Utilizing Water-Resistant Stainless Steel Enclosures

Corrosion Resistance

Waterproof stainless steel enclosures provide exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, particularly in marine environments where exposure to saltwater and humidity is a constant threat. Unlike traditional steel, stainless steel does not need to be painted because the corrosion inhibitors are inherent to the material. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the housed electronics, reducing the risk of damage and maintenance costs.

Enhanced Durability

Constructed from premium-grade stainless steel, these enclosures are designed to withstand the harshest conditions. They offer robust protection against physical impacts, chemical exposure, and other environmental stressors, ensuring that marine electronics remain safe and functional.

Temperature Regulation

Stainless steel’s reflective properties enable it to dissipate heat effectively, keeping the internal components cool and operational. This temperature regulation is vital for maintaining the performance and lifespan of marine electronics, especially in hot and sunny conditions.

Ability to Modify

Integra’s stainless steel enclosures are built to meet the exact size, latch and hinge specifications of your application. In addition, Integra can machine custom hole cut-outs for connectors and antennas or add artwork to spotlight your product’s logo.
