The PolyStar series of electrical and industrial polycarbonate enclosures (photo) now features new foam-in-place gaskets. These gaskets provide full, secure contact to the mating cover surface with a continuous overlapping seal that ensures no air gaps, no glue joints and no shrinking of gasket size due to stretching of the material. The result is maximum sealing integrity and reliable protection of all wiring, connections, instrumentation and controls housed by PolyStar enclosures. Enclosures are available with matching polycarbonate latches for a fully nonmetallic enclosure, or with stainless-steel latches. Latches can be swapped easily without any tools, making retrofitting the enclosures in the field accessible to all users. Cover options include hinged or screw; with either opaque or smoked finish. Select Polystar models are listed as cULus Type 4X; or Type 6P for the U.S. and Canada; or are certified as IEC IP66 with select sizes IP68. A total of 13 sizes are available. — Stahlin, Belding, Mich.
