FIBOX ARCA Polycarbonate Enclsoures vs GRP Enclosures
For many compact outdoor and industrial enclosure applications, FIBOX ARCA polycarbonate offers important advantages over traditional GRP alternatives. ARCA combines high impact resistance, UV stability, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and lighter weight in a format that is easier to handle, machine, and install.
In applications such as outdoor controls, infrastructure, water, utilities, transport, and solar, these characteristics can help simplify installation while supporting long-term enclosure performance in demanding environments.
| Attribute | Fibox ARCA Polycarbonate | Polyester (GRP) |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion resistance | Does not rust and is well suited to harsh outdoor and industrial environments | Commonly used in harsh environments, but performance depends on design, resin system, construction, and long-term exposure |
| UV performance | UV-stable high-performance polycarbonate for outdoor use | UV resistance varies by product and formulation |
| Impact performance | High impact resistance, including IK10 on published ARCA configurations | Impact performance varies by product and is often less favourable in compact enclosure handling and installation conditions |
| Weight | Lightweight and easier to transport, mount, and install | Typically heavier |
| Machining and modification | Easier and cleaner to drill, cut, and modify | Can be slower and less convenient to machine, and machining may generate fibreglass dust or fibres that can cause temporary skin irritation during handling. |
| Handling and installation | Practical for field installation and retrofit work | Often heavier and less convenient to handle |
| Surface condition | Clean finished appearance with no fibre exposure during normal handling | Surface finish and fibre-related handling characteristics vary by product |
