nVent Hoffman Polycarbonate Enclosures
nVent Hoffman polycarbonate enclosures provide a durable, lightweight solution for protecting electrical and electronic components in industrial and outdoor environments. Manufactured from high-performance polycarbonate thermoplastic, these enclosures offer excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, and corrosion resistance, making them a practical alternative to metal enclosures in many applications.
Polycarbonate enclosures perform well in environments exposed to dust, moisture, and UV radiation, with a typical operating temperature range of approximately -31°F to 180°F. While resistant to corrosion and some acidic environments, polycarbonate is best suited for applications where exposure to strong alkalis, organic solvents, or abrasive cleaners is limited. Its ease of modification allows users to drill, punch, saw, or machine the enclosure for conduit entries, mounting hardware, and accessories.
The nVent Hoffman QLINE™ series includes several polycarbonate wall-mount enclosure options to support varying application needs. QLINE I enclosures are the largest in the series and provide easy access and protection for larger control components. QLINE D enclosures feature contoured bodies with flush cover screws and are designed to withstand corrosive environments and occasional submersion. QLINE E enclosures offer expanded size options and greater internal mounting flexibility while maintaining a compact footprint. These enclosures are available with opaque or clear covers and support internal mounting rails, panels, and other accessories.
