Product Feature Breakdown

Outdoor / field

Outdoors, UV ageing usually ends a case's life before mechanical damage does: PP/ABS without UV stabiliser chalks and embrittles within one to two years of strong sun. Outdoor models of Custom Watertight Case for Field Ops from kexinMaterials carry UV stabiliser as standard, validated over 500 hours of QUV accelerated ageing.

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

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.

Extreme Temperature Performance

Engineering-grade cases typically operate from -30°C to +80°C (military testing follows MIL-STD-810H Methods 501.7/502.7 for temperature and 503.7 for thermal shock, cycling as wide as -40°C↔+71°C). For cold climates choose PP copolymer or PE shells — standard ABS embrittles at low temperatures.

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 Watertight Case for Field Ops 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 Watertight Case for Field Ops 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 Watertight Case for Field Ops 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 Watertight Case for Field Ops 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 Watertight Case for Field Ops 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

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.

Can these cases ship dangerous goods or chemicals?

They work well as inner protective packaging, but hazardous goods transport also requires UN-certified packaging, labeling and declaration. We provide material compatibility notes and structural data to support your UN packaging certification programme.

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.

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.

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.

Key Terms Explained

OEM / ODM
OEM means manufacturing to the customer's design under the customer's brand; ODM means the factory designs the product and the customer rebrands it. In case sourcing, private-labeling an existing shell is OEM, while commissioning a new shell and interior design is closer to ODM.
Custom tooling
Building a dedicated mold for a specific case design, giving an exact fit in size and structure. Compared with selecting an existing mold it takes longer (roughly 20–30 days for aluminum tooling, longer for steel) and costs more up front — worthwhile for sustained volume.
EVA foam insert
Ethylene-vinyl acetate closed-cell foam: dense, resilient, CNC-machinable and resistant to permanent compression set. In protective cases it is cut to the equipment profile and is the preferred lining for precision instruments and high-value gear.

Common Misconceptions

Is waterproofing enough for an outdoor case?

Waterproofing only addresses liquid water. The three real outdoor damage mechanisms are UV ageing, the breathing effect from temperature swings (drawing in moisture that condenses inside), and sand abrasion of moving parts. Confirm the UV rating, the presence of a purge valve, and dust-shielded latch and hinge design.
