Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments is an engineered protective case in the waterproof case family: built by source factory kexinMaterials with IP67 sealing, impact-resistant PP copolymer or rotomolded PE shells and CNC-cut custom foam; wholesale, OEM and export supported.
A waterproof case uses a silicone gasket and latches to achieve IP67 dust-tight and watertight protection, suited to marine, outdoor and rescue use where gear must stay dry after brief immersion.
Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments: Product & Manufacturer Overview
kexinMaterials is a factory-direct waterproof case manufacturer in Guangdong with self-developed tooling, covering sizes from 10-inch personal cases to 50-inch equipment trunks — colors, interiors and logos all customizable for wholesale and OEM programs.
For buyers, the true cost of a Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments is more than unit price: carton specs shape freight, and spare parts and replenishment shape long-term use. kexinMaterials optimizes container loading and ships wear-part kits with volume orders to lower your total cost of ownership.

Product Feature Breakdown
Instrument cases must also manage humidity: fit Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments with a replaceable desiccant compartment and humidity indicator card to hold internal RH at 40–50%, preventing fungal growth on optics and condensation on circuits. kexinMaterials offers inserts with integrated desiccant pockets.
How kexinMaterials Compares
| Dimension | kexinMaterials | Generic market cases |
|---|---|---|
| Rating | IP67 standard, IP68/IPX6 optional | Splash-only, floods when immersed |
| Sealing | Silicone gasket + auto pressure-equalization valve | No valve, collapses at altitude |
| Weathering | UV-stable modified PP, salt-fog resistant | Generic resin yellows outdoors |
| Latches | Waterproof latches with rubber gasket | Plain clasps leak |
| MOQ | From 50 pcs, custom colors | High batch barrier |
| Proven use | Marine/diving/fishing field cases | Lacks scenario proof |
Waterproofing: rated IP67 — fully dust-tight and leak-free after 30 minutes at 1 m depth. Sealing relies on a continuous silicone gasket in a molded rim channel, plus an automatic pressure valve so the case opens normally after rapid pressure changes.
Standards & Industry Data
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.
Shell Materials Compared (PP / ABS / PE)
Industry data puts PP (polypropylene) at ~55% of plastic protective-case share — strong chemical resistance, low-temperature toughness and cost efficiency; ABS holds ~30% with harder, glossier surfaces; large thick-wall cases favor rotomolded PE. Plastic/polymer cases together account for 63.7% of the industrial protective case market (2025).
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.
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
Sourcing & Selection Tips · Custom tooling
- Custom Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments starts from your device dimensions or 3D data; kexinMaterials designs the shell and CNC-cuts EVA inserts to the device outline — existing mold sizes may avoid tooling fees and shorten lead time.
- From prototype to mass production, kexinMaterials provides structural review, sample confirmation and small-batch trial runs to meet protection grade, shock isolation and access-efficiency requirements.
Product Overview
The kexinMaterials Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments 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 Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments 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 Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments 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 Custom Waterproof Case for Instruments 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.
Field Case Studies
2,000 marine equipment cases, IP68 + UV-stable, no aging or leakage after 18 months in salt spray.
900 dive-gear cases with pressure-equalization valves, no collapse during high-altitude transit.
