The enclosure components of the innovative Bocube series are manufactured only with materials which comply with the UL safety standards and are halogen-free. This also applies to the PU foam seal, and means that all of BOPLA’s plastic enclosures meet the sector’s highest standards. In addition, Bocube polycarbonate enclosures satisfy the strict EN 45545 fire protection standard for rail vehicles and outdoor capability according to UL 746 C f1.
BOPLA enclosures are almost entirely made of UL-listed materials. Of course, the Bocube industrial enclosure with its ABS and polycarbonate variants are no exception. After successful material certification according to UL50, this also applies to the injected polyurethane foam seal.
Bocube models made of polycarbonate are now the leaders when it comes to safety and sturdiness. Their material is classified in accordance with the most authoritative standard worldwide for assessing the flame retardancy of plastics – UL 94 – as flame retardant and self-extinguishing with flammability rating UL94 V-0. Matthias Bünte, product manager at BOPLA, explains: “In addition, it even meets the especially strict requirements of fire protection standard for rail vehicles EN 45545 for use in hazard class HL3.”
And the Bocube variants made of PC can do even more! They also proved their special suitability for outdoor use according to UL 746 C f1. This means that their material passed all the relevant flame protection and mechanical tests with flying colours even after exposure to artificial weathering (1000 hours of exposure to UV light and seven days of immersion in 70°C hot water).
Bocube enclosures – innovative and with plenty of variants
The sturdy industrial enclosures in the Bocube range stand out thanks to their well thought out mechanical construction and their elegant design with colour-contrasting hinged catches.
