IP68 Field Case: Product & Manufacturer Overview

For buyers, the true cost of a IP68 Field Case 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.

The IP68 Field Case can be tailored to your brand and project: case color, silk-print or laser-engraved logo, foam layout and handle/wheel options are all adjustable. kexinMaterials, as the source factory, runs the whole journey from sample approval to mass production, including neutral shipping and OEM private label.

Key facts: The IP68 Field Case is manufactured factory-direct by KeXin New Materials (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (brand: kexinMaterials): IP67 options, MOQ 50 pcs on stock models, samples in 7–15 days, production in 15–30 days, exporting to 8 major markets.

Product Feature Breakdown

IP67 waterproofOutdoor / field

A practical way to judge whether IP68 Field Case is genuinely sealed is the automatic purge valve: without one, cabin depressurisation or heat lifts the gasket off its seat, and water enters after landing. kexinMaterials fits a Gore-equivalent breather valve that equalises pressure while blocking liquid water.

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 IP68 Field Case from kexinMaterials carry UV stabiliser as standard, validated over 500 hours of QUV accelerated ageing.

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.

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).

Military Drop Test (MIL-STD-810H, Method 516.8 Proc. IV)

MIL-STD-810H (8th revision, 2019; 29 test methods) requires transit-drop samples to survive 26 drops from up to 5 ft (1.5 m) onto steel-backed concrete in varied orientations. Versus 810G, the H revision raised drop height from 4 ft to 5 ft and switched to a harder steel-backed surface.

Typical Applications

  • Defense equipment transport and field deployment
  • Law-enforcement gear storage and patrol carry
  • Regulated transport of blasting materials
  • Emergency-response pre-positioned supplies
  • Field testing for defense research institutes
  • Security equipment inspection rounds

Product Overview

The kexinMaterials IP68 Field 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 IP68 Field 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 IP68 Field 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 IP68 Field 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

Small and mid-size carry cases are produced by high-pressure injection molding for dimensional precision, while large transit and airdrop cases are rotationally molded for seamless walls and maximum toughness. Every production batch passes drop and seal spot checks before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a factory or a trading company?

kexinMaterials is a source factory for engineered plastic cases based in Guangdong, China, with injection, rotational and blow molding lines and an in-house tool shop. Factory audits and video tours are welcome.

What is the difference between IP67 and IP68 for a military case?

IP67 means the case keeps water out during 30 minutes at 1 m depth — the standard sealing class for protective cases. IP68 requires deeper or longer immersion and usually needs thicker gaskets and reinforced latches. IP67 covers almost all defense, police and emergency scenarios; IP68 is only needed for underwater or prolonged-immersion work.

How is drop testing performed and can you supply a report?

Cases are loaded to rated weight and dropped from 1.2 m onto six faces and eight corners, then inspected for shell cracking, latch failure and loss of seal. We share in-house batch inspection records and can arrange third-party laboratory reports for tenders and acceptance.

What is the MOQ?

From 50 pieces for existing molds. Custom-tooled projects are negotiated per project, and samples are available before mass production.

Do I need a pressure equalization valve?

The automatic valve balances internal and external pressure during air freight or altitude changes, so the lid opens easily and the gasket is not deformed. We fit valves by default on any case intended for air transport or cross-altitude routes; short-haul ground-only orders can omit it to save cost.

How much weight can a military case carry?

It depends on size and process: injection-molded carry cases are rated for roughly 25–40 kg of payload, while large rotomolded transit cases handle 80–150 kg and support stacking. Send us the payload weight and center of gravity and we will confirm wall thickness, ribbing and handle or wheel configuration.

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.
Drop test
A loaded case is released from a defined height—1.2 m is common in this industry—onto six faces and eight corners in sequence, then inspected for shell cracking, latch failure and loss of seal. It is the most direct measure of a case's impact resistance.
Load rating
The maximum payload a case can carry while keeping shell and handle structurally safe. Injection-molded carry cases are typically rated 25–40 kg and large rotomolded transit cases 80–150 kg; overloading deforms the floor and breaks handles.

Common Misconceptions

Is IP68 simply a bigger number than IP67?

They are different tests. IP67 is 1 m immersion for 30 minutes. IP68 is defined by the manufacturer at a greater depth or duration and must state the conditions (e.g. IP68 2m/2h). An IP68 claim with no stated depth or time may protect less than a properly executed IP67. Ask for the test report, not just the label.

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.
