As most enclosure specifiers know they can choose between stainless steel or composite (non-metallic) for their controls. While stainless steel enclosures can provide protection – over the long haul composite enclosures have proven to be a better solution due to their reduced cost, durability and improved protection from sun damage.
In the past, the biggest obstacle for every non-metallic enclosure manufacturer to overcome has been to provide their customers with a superior UV protection composite formulation.
Stahlin realized in order to provide a quality enclosure that could stand up to constant UV exposure they needed to develop a special formula. Several years ago they achieved their goal. And now all Stahlin's non-metallic enclosures are protected by SolarGuard.
All Stahlin non-metallic enclosures are protected by patented SolarGuard — a unique material formulation that provides superior molded-in UV-resistance, requires no field maintenance, and is provided at no additional product cost. In extensive comparison testing, SolarGuard outperformed all other available SMC formulations by as much as 60% in its ability to retain gloss and color after exposure to concentrated UV light.
Stahlin is completely confident that their composite enclosures can provide durable long-term protection, the company has announced that its product warranty free of failure due to manufacturer defectshas been extended to a full decade through its SUN-UP-TO-SUN-DOWN 10 YEAR PRODUCT WARRANTY. Stahlin's ten year warranty makes it the only enclosure manufacturer to offer assurances of that duration.
