Fiberglass-The Superior Enclosure Material
Allied Moulded fiberglass enclosures are fabricated from our own proprietary ULTRAGUARD® formulation and molded in RAL 7035 color. This material provides superior performance and protective properties in a wide variety of environments. Please make reference to our performance comparison chart of enclosure materials below.

Beyond Meeting Standards to Exceeding Expectations
Of course, Allied Moulded fiberglass enclosures are designed and regularly tested to meet stringent UL® and CSA® specifications, but we don't stop there. Our full line of corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free fiberglass enclosures is designed to provide optimum protection in the harshest environments, from water treatment facilities and irrigation systems to oil refineries and chemical processing plants.

Outperforming the Alternatives
Fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) offers significant benefits over metal enclosures such as carbon and stainless steel.

Compare them and you'll discover that fiberglass reinforced polyester enclosures are:
  • Lighter and easier to handle
  • Strong enough to hold up under extreme conditions
  • Equal to stainless steel in corrosion and chemical resistance, and far better than carbon steel
  • Non-conductive--an electrical insulator rather than electrical conductor
  • Much easier to punch, drill or saw
  • Less expensive to ship
Allied Moulded enclosures also outperform other non-metallic alternatives in areas such as:
  • Chemical resistance
  • Protection against degradation due to UV exposure
  • Resistance to extreme temperatures
  • Flame retardant properties
