Kabex GRP hazardous area junction boxes

The GRP (glass reinforced polyester) junction box enclosures from Kabex are IECEx certified, meaning they are suitable for use in petrochemical, oil and gas, shipbuilding, chemical, fertiliser, paint and solvent, sugar, LNG, power and mining industries along with anywhere else where non-sparking applications are mandatory.

These GRP junction box enclosures are claimed to be strong, lower in cost and lighter in weight, and are available in five different sizes.

Their glass fibre reinforced polyester bodies means they not only have high strength with a long life expectancy, but are also highly resistant to contamination from industrial chemical such as oils, fats and aliphatic solvents - while also being suitable for use in LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) applications.

The enclosures are suitable for use within hazardous areas and can be supplied with certificates such as ATEX and IECEx.

The GRP junction boxes have a silicon rubber gasket and offer ingress protection to IP66 and IP67 (EN/IEC 60529). They have an impact resistance of 7 N and are mounted via 4.5 mm clearance holes moulded into the body.
