SLAYSON®’s NEMA 6 / IP67: The Authority in High-Ingress Protection
SLAYSON® specialises in NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures for applications where dust ingress, water exposure, and temporary submersion must be addressed during design and specification. That focus has led to a range of hundreds of ready-to-ship NEMA 6 / IP67 waterproof enclosures, enabling fast selection and deployment.
Why Engineers Choose SLAYSON® NEMA 6 / IP67 Enclosures
SLAYSON® NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures are specified for applications that require protection against dust and water ingress, but without the deep-water submersion requirements of a NEMA 6P rating.
The enclosures are commonly used in outdoor, washdown, and industrial settings. In these applications, environmental exposure must be controlled without over-specifying the enclosure rating.
- Engineering-Led Environmental Testing: Every enclosure is developed to meet defined specification requirements. Performance is validated through environmental testing aligned with high ingress applications, including dust and liquid ingress, thermal cycling, salt-spray corrosion, shock and vibration resistance, and EMC/EMP/RFI immunity.
- The World’s Most Diverse NEMA 6 / IP67 Selection: Application requirements vary. Enclosure solutions should, too. Our NEMA 6 / IP67 junction box and enclosure range includes multiple sizes, materials, and configurations to support various operating conditions.
- Immediate COTS Availability: We bridge the gap between design and deployment with the world’s most extensive inventory of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) enclosures. Our ready-to-ship NEMA 6 / IP67 submersible enclosures reduce lead times, lower engineering overhead, and support rapid field installation when schedules are tight.
Requiring Prolonged or Deep-Water Submersion? NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures are designed for temporary flooding and washdown environments. Applications involving permanent underwater installation or submersion beyond 1.5 meters require a higher ingress protection rating. Explore our NEMA 6P / IP68 Enclosure Series for mission-critical, deep-water protection.
What Materials Do We Use for Our NEMA 6 / IP67 Enclosures?
SLAYSON® selects materials based on the chemical and physical demands of your specific environment. Our NEMA 6 / IP67 range is primarily manufactured in two high-performance alloys:
Stainless Steel
Type 316 stainless steel is commonly specified for NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures where corrosion resistance and long-term durability are critical. The alloy’s high chromium and nickel content provides strong resistance to moisture, chemicals, and salt-laden environments.
SLAYSON® stainless steel NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures are supplied with a polished finish as standard. Alternative surface finishes, including blasted or non-reflective options, are available to suit installation and environmental requirements.
Aluminium
Select NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures are manufactured from aluminium alloys such as 5052 and 6061. These materials offer a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and are well-suited to applications where weight reduction or ease of installation are priorities.
To meet ingress protection and corrosion resistance requirements, SLAYSON® aluminium NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures are supplied with protective surface coatings. Available coating options improve resistance to moisture and environmental exposure in outdoor and washdown conditions.
UL
UL certification is a safety standard issued by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to verify that products meet rigorous electrical, mechanical, and fire protection requirements. UL-certified enclosures undergo strict testing to ensure compliance with industry regulations, enhancing reliability and safety in industrial, commercial, and hazardous environments where regulatory approval is essential.
NEMA 6
NEMA 6 is a National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure rating that defines protection against dust ingress and powerful water exposure, including temporary submersion.
Though not rated for prolonged immersion like NEMA 6P, it provides robust sealing and reliability in demanding environments. It remains ideal for industrial, outdoor, and washdown applications where short-term submersion or heavy water exposure is a concern.
IP67
IP67 is an Ingress Protection rating defined under IEC 60529. It indicates complete protection against dust ingress and temporary water submersion under controlled conditions.
A “6” in the IP rating indicates complete protection against dust ingress, while a “7” denotes resistance to short-term water immersion, typically up to one meter. IP67 enclosures are therefore applied in outdoor, washdown, and other wet environments where brief submersion is possible.
IK10
IK10 is the highest impact protection rating under the IEC 62262 standard, indicating an enclosure can withstand 20 joules of impact energy. This equates to a 5kg object dropped from 400mm. IK10-rated enclosures provide maximum resistance against mechanical impacts, making them ideal for industrial and public-facing installations where physical damage is a concern.
EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection addresses the control of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
EMC-capable enclosures incorporate conductive materials, gaskets, and surface treatments to limit signal leakage and external interference. These features support compliance requirements and help protect sensitive electronic equipment in electrically noisy environments.
NEMA 6 / IP67 Industry Use Cases: Engineered for Reliability
SLAYSON® NEMA 6 / IP67 enclosures are used across industries where dust ingress, washdown exposure, and temporary flooding must be managed without specifying deep-water submersion protection.
Common application environments include the following.
- Infrastructure & Tunnels: In tunnel infrastructure, refurbishment, and maintenance projects, equipment is routinely exposed to heavy washdown procedures and groundwater ingress. SLAYSON® provides the standard for enclosures used in these environments, protecting vital signaling and power distribution during both routine cleaning and unplanned water exposure.
- Defence & Tactical Systems: SLAYSON® NEMA 6 / IP67 junction boxes are engineered for rapid field deployment and ground support equipment. These units provide a rugged, dust-tight barrier for mobile communications and tactical hardware that must survive extreme field conditions.
- Maritime & Coastal Construction: Coastal and near-shore installations expose electrical equipment to moisture, salt spray, and high humidity. Our 316L Stainless Steel NEMA 6 junction boxes are the preferred choice for ocean-side automation. Stainless steel configurations are commonly specified to support corrosion resistance.
- Automation & Control: We partner with OEMs in the automotive and food production sectors to provide washdown-ready enclosures.
