Product Feature Breakdown

Aluminium body

The aluminium shell on Aluminium Frame Submersible Case typically uses 5052/6061 sheet edging over ABS or honeycomb panels; at 1.0–1.5mm wall thickness it balances rigidity against weight. kexinMaterials adds reinforced riveting at corners and handle mounts, cutting deformation in drop tests by roughly 30% versus plain edged cases.

Standards & Industry Data

Water-Jet Tests (IPX5/IPX6)

IPX5 uses a 6.3 mm nozzle at 12.5 L/min from 3 m for at least 3 minutes (~30 kPa); IPX6 steps up to a 12.5 mm nozzle at 100 L/min (~100 kPa), simulating sea waves and pressure washing. Marine and outdoor cases should meet at least IPX6.

IP68 vs IP67 (IEC 60529)

IP68 covers continuous immersion. IEC 60529 does not fix a universal depth or duration — the manufacturer declares conditions that must exceed IP67 (typically 2–10 m). Always request the test certificate to confirm the actual depth/duration rather than relying on the “IP68” label alone.

IP Ratings (IEC 60529)

In IP67, the “6” means dust-tight (no dust ingress after a 2 kPa vacuum dust test) and the “7” means temporary immersion: the enclosure survives 30 minutes at 1 m depth with its highest point at least 150 mm below the surface, per IEC 60529 Clause 14.2.7.

Typical Applications

  • Overlanding and expedition gear storage
  • Marine fishing and boat equipment
  • Photography gear in the field
  • Emergency-response equipment staging
  • Water sports and dive gear transport
  • Utility line-inspection tool carry

Product Overview

The kexinMaterials Aluminium Frame Submersible Case is one-piece molded from engineering plastics, balancing impact strength, sealing and long-term durability — available from stock or fully customized. Key specs below.

On process: the Aluminium Frame Submersible Case can be injection, rotational or blow molded. Injection gives precise sealing and repeatability; rotomolding yields large seamless shells with thick-wall toughness; blow molding suits light, economical builds. kexinMaterials runs all three lines and matches the process to your protection grade and budget.

For interior protection, the Aluminium Frame Submersible Case ships with or accepts CNC-cut EVA/PE foam, routed to your equipment's 3D data so nothing shifts in transit; precision instruments can add ESD-safe or cushioned layered structures.

On quality, the Aluminium Frame Submersible Case passes batch drop, stack and immersion checks; key models can be tested to MIL-STD-810H for drop and vibration, with material and third-party test reports supplied for export and industry acceptance.

Manufacturing Process

The whole range is high-pressure injection molded with gasket-channel tolerances held to the 0.1 mm class. Each batch is sample-tested with a 1-meter, 30-minute immersion to keep IP67 performance consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will sun exposure fade or embrittle the shell?

The UV-stabilized compound resists fading and embrittlement in long-term outdoor use, rated to +80°C.

Does salt water corrode the case or hardware?

The modified PP/PE shell resists salt fog; the metal parts are the risk. For marine work we recommend 316 stainless hinges and latches, or an all-plastic latch design, plus a fresh-water rinse after each trip to extend service life significantly.

Do gaskets age, and can they be replaced?

Silicone gaskets last roughly 3–5 years in normal service; prolonged UV exposure or oil contact shortens that. Our gaskets are user-replaceable and spares can ship with the order. Wipe the sealing face with fresh water periodically and avoid scratching it.

Does the case float?

Empty and under reasonable load the shell holds positive buoyancy; for on-water work we recommend pairing with flotation bags as load varies.

Can a waterproof case stay submerged for a long time?

IP67 is defined as 30 minutes at 1 m depth — short-term immersion, not continuous underwater service. For prolonged submersion or floating work, choose an IP68 build with thicker gaskets and double-action latches, and factor in buoyancy and ballast.

What does IP67 actually mean?

The 6 means fully dust-tight; the 7 means no leakage after 30 minutes at 1 meter underwater. We immersion-test samples from every batch.

Key Terms Explained

Salt fog test
Continuous salt spray exposure per GB/T 10125 or ASTM B117 to assess corrosion resistance of metals and coatings. Case shells are inherently salt-resistant, so the test really evaluates hinges, latches and fasteners — critical for marine applications.
Pick-and-pluck foam
Pre-scored cubed foam that the user tears out cube by cube to form pockets around the equipment. It needs no tooling, ships fast and can be reconfigured, but offers less precision and support than CNC-cut EVA.
UN packaging certification
United Nations certification for dangerous-goods packaging, requiring drop, stacking, leakproofness and hydraulic tests plus UN marking. A protective case can serve as inner or outer packaging, but the complete system must be certified separately under UN rules.

Common Misconceptions

Is an aluminium case always tougher than a plastic one?

Not necessarily. Aluminium is rigid but has limited elasticity — past its yield point it dents permanently. Engineering plastics (PP/ABS/rotomoulded PE) absorb impact through elastic deformation and often recover better across repeated drop cycles. Aluminium wins on stacking load, finish and EMI shielding; for impact-critical duty, choose a rotomoulded or injection-moulded shell.
