Material Science & Selection
When selecting the right material for Aluminum Case, we work with four main materials, each offering different property profiles. PP (polypropylene) is the standard case for logistics and field service: impact-resistant, temperature-stable from -40 to +80 °C, recyclable, and cost-efficient. ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) delivers better surface quality for showroom and retail applications, is easier to print, and retains brilliant brand colours. PC (polycarbonate) is the premium material for technical equipment: virtually unbreakable, can be tinted transparent, with optional UL 94 V-0 flame retardant. Aluminium cases (AL-5052 / AL-6061) deliver maximum robustness for military, aerospace and heavy instrumentation.
Material Selection Guide
For lightweight logistics and budget-oriented projects, choose PP. If you need premium brand presentation, choose ABS. For technical equipment with high safety requirements, choose PC. For extreme stress and military applications, choose aluminium. Our engineering team helps you free of charge with material selection — tell us the application, weight, IP protection class, and budget, and we will recommend the optimal material including samples within 7 days.
