Particle & Fluid Ingress Protection
Protect Against Foreign Particles or Moisture
Quick Request
Particle & Fluid Ingress Protection is a critical part of application requirements across nearly every industry as consumers demand more resilient products. Surfaces unprotected against foreign particles wear faster and require more frequent replacement. Electronics subjected to moisture or debris can short and fail, dramatically increasing warranty claims. Screens, cameras, sensors, speakers, microphones, input and charger ports are all potential ingress locations on electronics, which require adequate protection for longer product lifetimes and more robust functionality.
Moving components are susceptible to wear and tear from sand, dust and debris. Protecting components like handles, shifters, and electronic interfaces with buttons and keypads, reduces wear and damage on a device and extends the lifetime, safety, and reliability of complete systems.
Fluid systems can be compromised by the introduction of foreign particles, so protection of ingress locations is critical to their longevity. Filters, IP seals, particle guards, plugs, and caps prevent debris from entering these fluid systems. Adding screens and filters improve the reliability of fluid systems and reduce maintenance requirements by preventing fouling or contamination of liquid systems.
Vehicles like cars and commercial trucks create their own tough environments by kicking up mud, road sand and salt. Controlling the trajectory of road debris and environmental contaminants helps extend vehicle undercarriage and cabin lifetime.
