Stahlin Non-Metallic Enclosures

Proven Protection for a New World of Renewable Energies

RIGHT PRODUCT:

Stahlin Enclosures are the most specified non-metallic electrical enclosures in the world.

WHY?

Because of unsurpassed, proven product performance and quality.

Because we pioneered the original composite enclosure nearly 50 years ago.

Because we offer the largest available selection of in-stock non-metallic enclosures that maintain a balance between appealing aesthetics and stringent physical property performance standards including NEMA 4X and NEMA 6P integrity.

Because we offer diverse enclosure modification and customizing options through our ModRight ® program

RIGHT PRICE:

Stahlin is competitive from the word Go!

for these primary reasons:

We have hands-on control of our integrated, in-house manufacturing process from first step to last touch.

Non-metallic enclosures offer significant economic savings over metallic alternatives such as stainless steel, yet provide comparable or superior physical property benefits.

We are price competitive with other non-metallic material options while frequently offering better performance value.

The unique added value of our non-metallic enclosures brings you protection from the high cost of failure.

RIGHT NOW:

Stahlin assures you of the fastest available turnaround from immediate professional design assistance to on-time delivery.

Six Best Reasons Why Stahlin

Non-Metallic Enclosures Are Ideal

For Meeting the Demands of

Renewable Energies Applications:

1.) DURABILITY.

You need durability and protection. Stahlin delivers enclosures that are built to last… and we’ll prove it with our:

Because we know you need durability in an enclosure --we’ll warranty our product longevity for a full decade!

We can do this because Stahlin enclosures are rugged, reliable non-metallic composites, not molded thermoplastics. Plus --they defeat the damage from weathering and corrosion that cause so many early product failures with metal enclosures.

Composites also provide superior dimensional stability because of low coefficient of thermal expansion versus stainless steel.

2.) PROTECTION FROM CORROSION

AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

Stahlin non-metallic enclosures provide superior corrosion and chemical resistance compared to metallics such as aluminum and painted or galvanized steel… and are very comparable to that of stainless steel. With non-metallics, enclosure maintenance is virtually eliminated.

3.) PROTECTION FROM UV-RADIATION

In addition to proven protection from weathering and environmental impact such as dust and moisture, Stahlin enclosures are molded from the most unique compounding formula available on the market --- SolarGuard ® . Don’t be fooled by cheap alternatives.

SolarGuard ® is a patented non-halogenated fiberglass system that beats the effects of outdoor exposure plus provides outstanding chemical and flame resistance. SolarGuard ® outperforms other available SMC formulations by as much as 60%

in its ability to retain gloss and color after exposure to concentrated UV light. SolarGuard ® is also able to reduce the effects of

UV degradation such as surface roughening and fiber blooming.

SolarGuard ® meets a NFPA No. 101 Class A flame spread index. Fire retardancy, achieved through use of alumina trihydrate fillers, meets UL94-5V standards --- an important aspect of enclosure protection, especially in remote installations.

SolarGuard ® features new, proprietary double-protection formulation technology that significantly enhances the molecular bond strength and crosslinking that occurs during the curing process in thermosetting polyester sheet molding compounds

SolarGuard ® fights polymer degradation by making it much more difficult for UV light to attack molecular bonds of both primary chains and crosslinks. A special UV Absorber is added to the

SolarGuard ® formulation which acts to absorb UV energy, then to release it without damaging the polymer chain.

As the new standard SMC formulation for all fiberglass electrical products, Solar Protection provides an unsurpassed level of UV resistance, fire retardancy, chemical resistance and safe, durable performance… all without adding cost to enclosures!

4.) DIVERSITY OF ENCLOSURE CHOICES

Stahlin provides the most extensive in-stock line of freestanding, wallmount, indoor/outdoor, junction and other non-metallic enclosures and accessories available to meet all needs and standards required for applications within the renewable energies market including:

• UL/cUL 50, Types 1, 3, 4X, 6P, 12

• UL File Number E64358

• CSA Std C22.2- File LR69014 Types 1, 3, 4X, 6P, 12

• NEMA Standard 250 - Types 1, 3, 4X, 6P, 12

• Temperature Range- (-76°F to +250°F) (-60°C to +120°C)

• Flammability Rating- UL94-5V (#E81860)

• IEC60529 • IP66 • IP66

• Window flammability- UL94V-0

Additionally, we provide expert design and engineering guidance for custom applications.

Stahlin Non-Metallic Enclosures are lightweight and easy to handle compared to metal enclosures and are extremely easy to drill, punch and cut compared to all metals. Retrofitting is eliminated because of the ability to modify composites with knockout panels and windows.

Our ModRight ™ Enclosure Modification Capabilities

ModRight ™ offers customers the opportunity to benefit from

Stahlin’s inhouse capabilities for achieving accurate, cost-effective enclosure modifications. The program provides diverse choices for factory customizing of enclosures including cutouts, holes, windows, vents, countersinking, latches & locks, and nonstandard sizing.

Through the ModRight ™ program, Stahlin offers more than 20 standard colors and the opportunity to computer match any custom supplied color sample. Graphic interfaces including silk-screening and decals are also available.

5.) COST EFFECTIVENESS

Stahlin non-metallic enclosures are significantly more cost effective than stainless steel (20-40% less) and are very competitive with other metallics. We are highly competitive with other non-metallic enclosures and our value-adds, such as

SolarGuard ® , put our enclosures in a performance class by themselves without adding cost to our products.

6.) “MADE IN THE U.S.A.”

MANUFACTURING LEADERSHIP

Nearly 50 years ago Stahlin Enclosures pioneered the world’s first fiberglass composite enclosure.

Since that time we have broadened our marketplace leadership.

As the primary source producer of all our own enclosure components, we provide you assured quality control.

From a single manufacturing location located in Belding,

Michigan, we:

• Formulate and blend our own fiberglass composite including patented SolarGuard ® for unequaled UV resistance.

• Mold our enclosures using the highest processing standards.

• Integrate CNC and other technologies to optimize bonding, gasketing, customizing functions, and final assembly processes.

• Maintain a balance between appealing aesthetics and stringent physical property performance standards including NEMA 4X and NEMA 6P integrity for completeness of protection of internal components from external elements.

• ISO9001:2000
