Deep Airtight Case: confirm internal dimensions first (equipment size plus foam allowance), then protection rating (IP67 is the benchmark) and shell material (PP for value, ABS for surface hardness, rotomolded PE for large sizes). Custom sizes available via tooling.
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.
Deep Airtight Case: 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.
Many buyers shop a Deep Airtight Case on the word 'waterproof' alone, but reliability actually lives in the seal architecture and pressure management. kexinMaterials molds a continuous silicone gasket channel into the rim and adds an automatic relief valve, so the case opens easily after altitude or air-freight pressure swings while staying watertight.

Standards & Industry Data
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.
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.
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).
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
Sizing & Selection Guide
To size a Deep Airtight Case, measure the largest 3D dimensions of the payload and allow 30–50 mm per side for foam, then match against internal case dimensions. Above 30 kg payloads, add wheels and reinforced bases.
kexinMaterials stocks a full size run from personal cases to large transit trunks with published internal dimensions; if nothing fits, we evaluate mold revisions or new tooling — selection advice is free.
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.
